Coldplay to pause touring, citing environmental impact of concerts

Coldplay wants to press pause on our planet’s warming.

The British band announced that it won’t tour until it can find a way to make its concerts more environmentally friendly.

The band’s frontman Chris Martin made the announcement to the BBC on Thursday ahead of the Friday release of its new album, “Everyday Life.”

The band will play two shows in Jordan, which it will broadcast to the world via YouTube instead of touring the new album, Martin said.

"We're taking time over the next year or two, to work out how our tour can not only be sustainable [but] how can it be actively beneficial,” Martin said in an interview with the BBC’s Colin Paterson.
