He thinks it's one of the best videos ever made

Fresh from the announcement that their latest record will be their final 'conventional' album, Coldplay have released the music video for new single "Up&Up."

Taken from their seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams, the trippy video sees Chris Martin and the lads placed in rather odd locations.

See for yourself by watching the video above.

"Up&Up" is the third official single to be taken from the album following releases of debut track "Adventure of a Lifetime" and "Hymn for the Weekend" which features uncredited backing vocals from Beyoncé.

Coldplay teamed up with the "Formation" singer for a second time at this year's Super Bowl halftime show alongside Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson.

The British band will headline this year's Glastonbury festival, taking the Pyramid Stage on Sunday 26 June.

It will mark a fourth time Coldplay have headlined, historically becoming the first act to do so. The month of June will also see them play multiple dates at London's Wembley Stadium.

Muse and Adele complete the Glastonbury headline slots.
