It sounds like Chris Martin was serious when he said, “I don’t believe in time off.”

According to one the all-knowing Sun, Coldplay are back in the studio during their breather between finishing the Northern hemisphere tour and commencing a South American leg. They’ve upgraded from their rather pedestrian studio The Bakery for something more swish up the road. And they appear to be recording an album.

And we’re all for that especially if it means no multi-year ingestion period for the band post-Viva. Chris Martin has said he’s afraid the creative well will run dry as he advances into his 30s “I’m 31 now and I don’t think that bands should keep going past 33.” That was in 2008, so hurry Chris before 33 is staring you down!

In the meantime, watch the above clip to relive one of the most magnificent live moments of the past year when Chris decided to sprint through the Sydney Cricket Ground mid- ‘Fix You’ during the Sound Relief concert. The Sound Relief DVD is out now and includes that magically chaotic performance.
