Coldplay's Chris Martin has given his band until the end of the decade to record as much "great stuff" as possible.
The singer believes that musicians typically begin to fade after their first ten years together and Coldplay's debut album "Parachutes" was released back in 2000.
"We feel bands need to fill their first 10 years, so we have lots to do before December 31st 2009," Martin told The Sun.
"I know it's stupid, but that's kind of our deadline. We have to do something good by then."
Martin, who'll be 33 by the time that "deadline" comes around, feels that's an age that marks the start of a "different phase of songwriting.
"Most of my heroes did most of their great stuff before they were 33," he continued.
"It's not that you can't do great stuff afterwards. You just have to have deadlines, otherwise you'll spend all day in the sauna."
