Coldplay announce next album will be their last

Coldplay's Chris Martin says the band's seventh album, A Head Full of Dreams, will be 'the final thing we're doing'

 

Coldplay are working on their final album, Chris Martin has said.

 

A Head Full of Dreams, the band?s seventh studio album, is likely to be their last.

 

?We haven?t told anyone this but we?re making an album called A Head Full of Dreams. We?re right in the middle of it.

 

?It?s our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it?s like the last Harry Potter book or something,? Martin told BBC Radio 1?s Zane Lowe.

 

?Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something.

 

?I have to think of it as the final thing we?re doing. Otherwise we wouldn?t put everything into it.?

 

Coldplay released their debut album, Parachutes, in 2000.

 

Their sixth, Ghost Stories, was released in May.

Saw them live a few years back and man they put on a great show, hopefully I will get to see them one last time 

Honestly, it wasn't until I saw one of their live performances on television that I began to listen to them.

 

I was sick, wrapped up in blankets, with some nyquil... I find out Coldplay is going to play, I want to change the channel but too exhausted... suddenly, he sings and everything with the reverb, voice, sound and all just takes over and suddenly it clicks. "Ohhhhhhhhh..." I think. Just like that, I became a fan. Funny how we can enjoy something more if we only give it a chance.

 

Anyway, hopefully they keep touring. Sometimes people call it "quits" only to realize that they've made a mistake. History is evidence to that at least.

Didn't they do this years ago? I remember seeing them perform and at the end they said it was their last performance. I think Chis expect a huge outcry and it didn't happen, he followed it up with something about going on a long break. I think he is a bit of drama queen.

I've indeed heard this a few years ago.

All of these songs play or played regularly on radio and tv, I'm not sure how you could have not heard them.

 

Three reasons:

  1. I don't listen to music on the radio
  2. I live in Japan
  3. I don't have much interest in UK or American music produced beyond the late 1990s

then why comment on a UK band "retirement" announcement?  :rolleyes:

For me it's because the majority of today's music sucks and thus I don't listen to the radio or listen to music on TV. I cannot seriously think of a band/artist post-2000 that I actually liked/got into. Sure, there's albums released post-2000 all the way up to now that I like, but those are by established bands/artists.

 

It's sad really.

I've visited Japan various times and interest in English music is fairly high, even karaoke places in Japan have lots of English music. (I'm fairly certain they'd have some coldplay). But if you don't have interest in the music I guess you could avoid it, but Coldplay is very popular worldwide.

I prefer to keep an open-mind and listen to all types of music; new and old, local and foreign. But if you prefer to limit your music its understandable that you would not have heard of Coldplay. Coldplays first hit song was in 2000, but I think if you like music (pre-2000's) from R.E.M, Beetles, U2, Muse and Oasis, you may also like Coldplay.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
