Coldplay to split up in 2009?

Rumors surfaced on the internet today that Chris Martin wants to quit Coldplay at the end of 2009.

MTV UK:

Coldplay could call it quits at the end of next year- singer Chris Martin has hinted.

Talking to the Daily Express he said he didn’t want the band to end up as wrinkly rockers like The Rolling Stones.

He said: "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.”

Although Martin is known for making funny tongue in cheek comments many have taken this to mean that multi-million selling Coldplay are set to split.

He told the paper: "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 have previously hinted that their next (fifth) album will be their last. Their latest album Viva La Vida is one of the best selling records of 2008 worldwide.

Well, crap...here comes that rainy day feeling again...
