The members of Coldplay are set to head back into the studio with producer Brian Eno sometime later this year. The band is preparing a few songs without singer Chris Martin, and has announced a full North American tour for July and August. Coldplay will also appear at the Grammy Awards this Sunday (Feb. 8). Perhaps Chris Martin can use all his parental expertise to help out M.I.A. if she gives birth during the show?
