Coldplay Want Beyonce To Fix It For Them

Coldplay want Beyonce Knowles to star in the video for their next single Fix You, because their fans deserve more "gorgeous girls".

The band aren't confident people like their promo for Speed Of Sound, the first single from their new album X+y - but they think they are naturally disadvantaged because there are no women in the group.

Frontman Chris Martin says, "I think the only way for us to get a video that does really well is for us to get Beyonce in it. I'm not sure how we're going to do that, though. We're at such a disadvantage because we don't have gorgeous girls in our band.

"So it's much harder for us to make videos. We should make videos like that band that always has loads of gorgeous girls in their videos - Maroon 5. I think we should give them a call."The band have shot the video for their new single "Speed of Sound" with director Mark Romanek, previously responsible for the award-winning Johnny Cash "Hurt" promo.

Martin added: "He's the best video director of all time, though he doesn't like to admit it. So we were immensely flattered that he would want to do it with us. For a price."

The "Speed of Sound" video premieres on MTV this week and the single is released in the UK today [May 23].
