Martin said he wants the band’s next tour to “…be the best possible version of [one] like that environmentally,” adding: ”We would be disappointed if it’s not carbon neutral.”
Coldplay are about to release their new album, which is titled Everyday Life.
“In a very gentle British way, this record is us saying we don’t feel different from any human on earth,” Martin said.
Coldplay will perform a one-off show at the Natural History Museum on 25 November, the proceeds of which will be donated to an environmental charity.
