COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN is planning to carve out a career in the classical music world before becoming "too old" to rock.

The CLOCKS singer, 29, claims he's unlikely to be playing rock music in his forties.
Speaking at a New York Philharmonic concert featuring music from the movies of STEVEN SPIELBERG last week (ends28APR06), Martin told the New York Post, "When I'm 40, too old to be a rock star, I plan to go back to college to study classical music." (GES/WNWCCB)
