Nobody loves anything quite as much as Chris Martin loves claiming that Coldplay are retiring — and the musician has spent the last decade doing what he loves.
The bandleader discussed his plans for the future on yesterday's (January 26) episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show (side note: did anyone else forget that this was still a thing?), where the host got confirmation from Martin that there would be three more albums released by 2025, and one of them would apparently be a musical.
"Yeah, I think that's what feels right to us," he said on behalf of Coldplay at large. "I think we'll keep touring, and we'll always be together as a group of musicians and friends. But I think the story of our albums ends then."
"And then one's going to be a musical?" DeGeneres clarified — to which Martin responded, "I hope so, yeah."
"I think we'd really like to do a movie musical," he added, before joking that it would be called East Side Story.
