COLDPLAY Days Winding Down ?

     MUSIC NEWS - Brit rocker Chris Martin has once again suggested that he may retire from all things music, maybe as soon as next year.  Seems like Coldplay won't become the next U2 or Rolling Stones with endless releases and tours.   Martin told the British Daily Express newspaper; "I'm 31 now and I don't think that bands should keep going past 33. So, we're trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we'll just go for it in every sense. I don't believe in time off. We've still got most of our hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we've got to make the most of that". The group has already hinted that their next (fifth) album will be their last. Their current album, Viva la Vida is, as you know,  one of the top selling records of 2008 worldwide.   We wonder what Chris's career plans are.  MNN won't argue with that, but we heard the "last album, last tour" cry before from bands.  Five albums may be too soon to quit !!!
