After recording Viva La Vida, Coldplay kept writing more music and have released it on the EP Prospekts March. It includes Jay-Z’s special guest appearance on Lost.

Prospekt’s March is an EP by English alternative rock band Coldplay, initially released on 21 November 2008 in Europe and Japan, and worldwide the following week. It features several tracks left over from the studio sessions for Coldplay’s fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.[4][5] It is also available in the deluxe edition of Viva la Vida.

The Song “Glass of Water” became very popular and entered to the iTunes top 100 songs, but it has not been confirmed by Coldplay if it is a possible planned single.

On 19 November, Coldplay, through their website, announced that the release date would change to 21 November instead of 19 November. North American dates were brought forward to Monday the 24th.
