Coldplay's Chris Martin has applauded U2 for their latest album. The star claimed that No Line On The Horizon is "f***ing brilliant" and admitted that he listens to it before going on stage, reports the Daily Star.
Martin, who was recently labelled a "w***er" by Bono, went on to deny that Coldplay are trying to emulate U2's style. "We never started any rivalry, because we are fully aware that we are a number six band. We are not even number two. We are always very thrilled when someone even bothers to compare us, because we are 23 years behind them and they are in a way different league," he said. "It's like comparing a high jumper with an astronaut. We are doing all right, but they have gone a lot further and a lot higher."
U2 recently matched the success of the Rolling Stones and Madonna after securing their tenth UK number one album.
