Coldplay are planning to make their 2009 world tour X-tra special for fans, by throwing in lots of surprise guests - including Simon Cowell. The lads are hoping that the X Factor judge - he of high-waisted trousers fame - will agree to a special cameo appearance in the show.
Chris Martin tells the Mirror: "I've never met Simon, but I keep wanting to ask him to do a bit in our concert next year. At the end of one song I want him to come on screen and say, 'That was absolutely terrible!' I think he'd be up for it... but now I've given away a surprise."
Meanwhile, while Alexandra Burke is grabbing all the headlines, Coldplay remain loyal to previous X Factor winner Leona Lewis. Raves Chris Martin: "Leona is phenomenal. She is world class, that girl. We saw her singing in LA - she's as good as anybody and I've got nothing but respect for her."
