Coldplay is releasing a new album on Friday, but fans will have to wait to hear the band perform it live.
Chris Martin, the band's frontman, announced they would be putting plans to tour on hold for at least a year or two in the name of environmental sustainability.
"We’re taking time over the next year or two to, to work out how our tour can not only be sustainable, but how it can be actively beneficial," Martin told BBC. "How can we harness the resources that our tour creates and make it have a positive impact?"
The British rockband wants to have a show that relies mostly on solar powered energy and without using single-use plastic.
Martin also noted that he's not criticizing others who aren't following suit, he just wants to be an example for how it can be done.
"Everyone will catch up, I think, if you prove that it's easy to do it the right way," Martin said.
The band's last tour, A Head Full of Dreams Tour, ended in 2017 after playing 122 dates in five continents. It was the "third-highest grossing global tour of all time," according to Billboard, bringing in over $500 million.
