Imagine this, you go to a Jay-Z gig, you'll all fired up about seeing one of the biggest names in modern hip hop, who you possibly thought you'd never get to see again after he announced his 'retirement' two years ago, and then, in the middle of it all, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow plod on stage and start warbling along to Jay-Z's music - downer. Yep, the Coldplay frontman and his wife made a guest appearance at Jay-Z's second London gig this week, which took place at the Royal Albert Hall (the first ever hip hop gig to take place there, don't you know?). Martin's appearance at the gig wasn't a huge surprise, given that he collaborated on Jay-Z's new album 'Kingdom Come', though few expected Paltrow to provide backing vocals to 'Song Cry', a track off Jay's 'Blueprint' album. Former rival Nas also joined Jay on stage for three songs, as he did at the hip hop mogul's Wembley gig at the weekend.
