Coldplay taking break

Coldplay are contemplating a career break once they finish their current world tour - so their fans don't grow sick of their music.

The band, led by frontman Chris Martin, want to revamp their sound before heading back into the studio to record the follow-up to their 2008 album 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends'.

And guitarist Johnny Buckland hopes the hiatus will keep their fanbase from tiring of them.

Buckland said: "We ended up doing much more touring than we originally planned so there's no time to do proper justice to a new project. And anyway people may need a bit of a break from us.

"We're taking a little break and let's see where we get after that. We've got a lot of ideas but we want to find a new way to go and that may take some time."
