Chris Martin put the brakes on his collaboration with The Streets' Mike Skinner - because he thought a version of single 'Dry Your Eyes' sounded better without him.
Coldplay's Chris went into the studio with Skinner to record vocals for the acclaimed single but, upon hearing a take in which his voice was replaced by Skinner's, Martin insisted they cut him out.He explains, "There was this version of it which I sang the chorus. But I said I didn't think it was as good as the version where he sang the chorus. Then he didn't think that was as good as the version where some other dude sang the chorus, so neither him nor me sing on the chorus."
But the experience hasn't put Martin off working with Skinner in the future. In fact, he can't wait to do it again. Martin enthuses, "It was cool too... it was cool to spend the day with him. He's an amazing guy. You know, there are some great rappers coming out. I don't know whether he'd class himself as a rapper or a MC or whatever."
