Coldplay are recording a new album which going to be a stripped-down, more acoustic collection recorded in an eerie church.

Frontman CHRIS MARTIN is concerned the band are being seen as a huge stadium act and totally inaccessible for their loyal fans.

"Chris is determined not to be seen as a huge commercial rock juggernaut, filling stadiums and cashing in.

"This is the plan to keep them as close to their fans as possible."

Maybe Jon should take note...
