Duffy set fire to her hair just seconds before meeting Chris Martin.

 

The Welsh-born singer has revealed the embarrassing encounter with the Coldplay frontman which took place at a concert in Cleveland, US, last week.

 

She said: "I was in the dressing room and I had dimmed the lights, then I lit this candle and it started melting a bit.

 

"I thought, 'S**t!' and started blowing it out. I got a cloth to wipe it and bent down, not realising it was still lit. Then the entire left side of my hair went up in flames.

 

"At that moment Chris was walking down the corridor to say, 'Hi'. I hadn't met him before and the place stank of burning hair. Somebody came in and said, 'Is someone cooking chicken?'

 

The 'Rain On Your Parade' singer managed to cut the "black crumbs" out of her hair, but struggled to cover up the stench before Chris came in to greet her.

 

She added in an interview with Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It was really bad and properly embarrassing. Chris could smell it. You couldn't avoid smelling it.

 

"Can you imagine if I had gone up in flames? Nightmare. I honestly saw my life flash before my eyes."

 

Duffy's new single 'Rain On Your Parade' is released on November 17.

Duffy sets hair on fire backstage

 

 

Welsh soul singer Duffy told reporters how she saw her life "flash before my eyes" when she accidentally set her hair on fire while working in the US.

 

The 24-year-old star was due to perform at a Coldplay concert in Ohio last month when the incident occurred.

 

"I was in the dressing room and I had music on and candles alight."

 

She blew out the candle when it began to melt. "I bent down, not realising it was still lit. Then the entire left side of my hair went up in flames."

 

"At that moment, Chris was walking down the corridor to say, 'Hi'," said the Mercy singer, recalling her first meeting with Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin.

 

"I hadn't met him before and the place stank of burning hair.

 

"Somebody came in and said, 'Is someone cooking chicken?'

 

"I had black crumbs of hair all down me so I had to give it a chop and pin it back. It was really bad and properly embarrassing.

 

"Can you imagine if I had gone up in flames? Nightmare. I honestly saw my life flash before my eyes."

 

Duffy rocketed to global success with her debut album Rockferry earlier this year.

 

The album is well on the way to selling more than one million copies in the UK, and the single Mercy was number one in the UK for five weeks.

 

In May, the album went straight into number four in the US charts.

 

Her latest single, Rain On Your Parade, is released on 17 November.
