Coldplay opts to stay off tour circuit for environmental concerns after releasing new album

Coldplay is refusing to tour because band members feel their shows and travel plans would not have a positive impact on the environment. In promotion of their new album 'Everyday Life,' the band has opted to perform two shows in Jordan at sunrise and sunset instead of traveling the world once more.

Coldplay is refusing to tour for environmental reasons.

Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin said in a new interview that the British band decided not to tour this year because they want to “have a positive impact” on the environment before moving forward.

"Our next tour will be the best possible version of a tour like that environmentally," Martin further noted. "We would be disappointed if it's not carbon neutral.”

"The hardest thing is the flying side of things. But, for example, our dream is to have a show with no single use plastic, to have it largely solar-powered,” the singer continued.

"We've done a lot of big tours at this point. How do we turn it around so it's not so much taking as giving?"

In promotion of their new album, the band has opted to perform two shows in Jordan at sunrise and sunset instead of traveling the world once more.

"If you've had the privilege of traveling around the world, you know we're all from the same place," said Martin. "In a very gentle British way, this record is us saying we don't feel different from any human on Earth."
