Coldplay have made a surprise return to the studio to work with producer Brian Eno.

The band, who recorded their recent number one album ‘Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends’ with the producer, made the announcement on Twitter.

Their tweet said: “The band are back in the studio for a couple of weeks with Brian Eno...”

At present, it’s not clear if the group are working on material for a new album.

Coldplay are due to return to the road in February for the second leg of their world tour, which will start in the Far East.
