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

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.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
