Coldplay statements fuel split speculation

Rumours that double Brit Award-winners Coldplay are to split have been fuelled by a series of statements released by the band's record label.

Parlophone initially denied reports, stating: "Coldplay are categorically not splitting up. They are on the road until July, when their 16-month X&Y World Tour ends in Japan. They will then be having a well-deserved rest before working on their fourth album."
