British pop-rock group Coldplay have announced the release of their new album that will feature acclaimed Palestinian band Le Trio Joubran.
The new album of the multiple-time Grammy winners is called Everyday Life and is scheduled for release on 22 November.
It is set to be a double album, with one half titled "Sunrise" and the other "Sunset", although it is not yet known which song Le Trio Joubran will feature on.
