Coldplay to Break Up in 2009?

It looks like the days may be numbered for one of the world's hottest pop-rock bands. Chris Martin, lead vocalist for Coldplay, told the UK's Daily Express that the group may be finished at the end of next year, 2009. He believes that bands should pack it in before they get old.

Chris Martin stated "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."

Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is one of the biggest selling albums of the year. The band's 4 studio albums have all been certified at least double platinum in the US.
