Tim Wheeler confirms Coldplay collaboration
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 1 March 2011
Ash frontman Tim Wheeler has confirmed those previously reported rumours that he spent some time in the studio with Coldplay recently. However, he’s not sure his contribution will make it to the band’s new album, so his credibility could still remain in tact.
Wheeler told BBC 6music: “I showed up one day at the studio and they were starting to work on a song that, actually, I think had a bit of an influence from one of our recent singles. So, they said ‘here take up the guitar’ and the next thing I know I’m jamming along with them and Brian Eno. I was really buzzed cos I’m such a big Eno fan as well”.
He continued: “I don’t know if it’s going to be on the record. It’s almost like a pre-rehearsal. They were figuring out the arrangement and I was jamming along. They were actually recording it but I think they were going to go start from scratch again. There was one little guitar lick I was playing that I think Chris was quite excited about. I think they can slot that in. There’s got to be a chance!”
