Coldplay to release another album next year

A couple of new projects should be a good distraction for Chris Martin after his marriage split from Gwyneth Paltrow.

His band Coldplay, whose new album Ghost Stories is due to be released next month, are said to be working on a second record for 2015.

Ghost Stories has been touted as a very different direction for the band, and the rumoured seventh album release is expected to be a return to a more commercial sound.

It’s a tactic that has been used in the past by bands hoping to try out something a bit different without alienating fans, such as U2 with Achtung Baby and Zooropa.

Front man Chris is said to be throwing himself into music since his split from Gwyneth.

The double album release is expected to be followed by a tour in 2015.

Ghost Stories is due to be released on May 19th.
