Soft and Music

Stories have been appearing yesterday (January suggesting that the band only had one more album to deliver following the release of their next studio album, rumored to be called Prospekt and due out later this year.

The stories speculated that a greatest0hits collection would follow and then the band would be free agents.

However, a source at the label told NME.com today (January 9) that was not the case and the band remain in contract with the label.

"In reality Coldplay are signed to a long-term record deal with EMI and are committed to produce a number of studio albums," they explained. "The band's relationship with EMI is both long-term and very healthy and positive. Any suggestion to the contrary is incorrect and unfair on both parties."
