Coldplay will take a three year break from touring.
The British band's frontman Chris Martin made the announcement as they finished the Australian leg of their world tour in Brisbane on Wednesday, but admitted to some doubts about the hiatus. "This is the last big show for three years or so. I don't want to stop," he said.
The group have three dates left on their current world tour, including a concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on December 29 followed by two shows at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn although they have hinted they are already working on a new album.
Speaking about their last record, 2011's Mylo Xyloto, Chris promised fans the new release will be easier to pronounce: "The next one we're releasing is much easier to pronounce." When pressed further about what the next album will be called, Chris said, "I can't tell you that."

Coldplay Host Intimate London Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Performances,
Coldplay joked it was "like playing for their family" at an intimate gig in London last night. The "Paradise" band played at the 500-capacity Camden Dingwalls venue for the first time since 1998, when they had just released their debut Safety EP.
During the set lead singer Chris Martin told the crowd, "This is like playing for our family. It's so f***ing small. I've got more cousins than this! We're used to lasers and posh stuff, and now we've got nothing but our instruments and our handsome bass player."
As the band - completed by Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion - took to the stage, opening their set with new song "Hurts Like Heaven" from their Mylo Xyloto album, things got off to a shaky stage, as the band made a couple of mistakes. "This is worse than 14 years ago. We f***ed that up as well. Come on, we're a professional band for f**k's sake," Chris joked.
The show saw the band perform against a graffiti inspired backdrop and was attended by lucky fans picked from 60,000 who had applied for the free tickets.
