Chris Martin Hints at Coldplay Split

Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin set tongues wagging last night when he hinted the band might be splitting up.

As he accepted one of the band's two awards at the Brit Awards in London, Martin said, "You won't see us at one of these for many, many years. We won't see you for a long time. I mean it. It's going to be years before we have the chance to say this again."

He prompted even more speculation when, later in the evening, he said: "We got to go. People are fed up with us, and so are we."

Coldplay won for best single ("Speed of Sound") and best album (X&Y).

Despite Martin's proclamations, Coldplay's London rep insists the hiatus will be no more than the standard break bands take between churning out albums.

"Coldplay are on the road until July, when their 16-month X&Y World Tour ends in Japan," the rep tells the BBC. "They will then continue working on new material."

Perhaps Martin also just wants to spend more time with his pregnant wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, and their daughter Apple.

10. I'm not sure if I've ever even heard a song by them, so

I couldn't care less. I was told that one of their ringtones was going to be used on an episode of CSI NY, but didn't pay attention.

And if they break up, Paltrow can fucking get bent.

17. I liked them better when they called themselves "U2."

And even THEN they bit the wang. Fuck 'em. The earth will still revolve, even with one less shitty band around.
