Remember those reports that Coldplay would be releasing a new album in 2009?

Well it seems they are true because the band will be releasing a brand album in December 2009 but front-man Chris Martin also revealed they will be releasing an EP called Prospects March around December 2008.

The band have a few songs let over from Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends including a duet with Kylie Minogue called Luna.

Speaking to BBC 6music, Martin said “we’re going to put an EP out at Christmas called Prospects March and we’re going to release an album next December to end the decade,”

He added that when the fifth album is released in 2009 they are going to take a break, “we’re gonna be ‘Whooosh! Where’ve they gone?’, just like Keyser Soze (click here if you don’t know who that is).”
