Coldplay singer Chris Martin reiterated that the band's 12th album would be their final one.

In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, the singer remarked: "We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Less is more."

He further explained why they've decided to conclude Coldplay with 12 records sharing: "It's really important that we have that limit. First of all, there are only 12, well, there are only eight Harry Potters or seven Harry Potters. There are only 12 and a half Beatles albums. There’s about the same Bob Marley, so all of our heroes." 

He went on: "And also having that limit means that the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it's almost impossible, which is great."

Once Coldplay retires, Chris shared that if they were to do something together again, aside from touring, it would be for something different.

"It'll be a side thing, or it'll be a compilation of things we hadn't finished," he pointed out.

Coldplay is set to release their tenth studio album Moon Music on October 4.
