Chris Martin ‘needs to let go’ of Coldplay

Chris Martin Admits: “I Need to Let Go of That Attachment” to Coldplay

As Coldplay gears up for their tenth album, Moon Music, frontman Chris Martin is candidly exploring where the band goes next—and how to cherish what’s left without clinging too tightly.

A Finite Legacy: 12 Albums Only

In conversations with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Martin revealed plans for Coldplay to cap their studio album output at twelve, with Moon Music sitting comfortably at number ten. His reasoning? Maintaining quality control over quantity.

“We are only going to do 12 proper albums, and that’s real… less is more.”

Letting Go Isn’t Giving Up

Reflecting on their long-standing emotional bond with the band, Martin offered perhaps the most revealing insight yet:

“I’m trying to let go of everything, but I still love my job… I need to let go of feeling like I need that and just be able to appreciate it when it’s there — not to be attached to needing it. I’d like to just want it. I’m getting there.”

What emerges is the delicate balance between attachment and appreciation—a process that Martin describes as “getting there,” suggesting he’s learning to enjoy the moment without feeling trapped by his own creation.

What’s Next? Touring, Nostalgia, and New Paths

While new music may wind down soon, Coldplay’s journey isn’t ending:

• Martin has hinted at revisiting the band’s early catalogue—celebrating and revisiting its legacy. There’s even the suggestion of branching into different performance formats or thematic shows.

• Moon Music is still on the calendar, while the last single, “All My Love,” could very well be their final official release.
