Chris Martin says Kylie Minogue is awesome, but cut their duet

Coldplay's Chris Martin told Q that Kylie Minogue is awesome, but that their collaboration was dropped from 'Viva La Vida' because it was not right for the album.

Coldplay's Chris Martin has told Q that label mate Kylie Minogue is "awesome" and "like Girls Aloud rolled into one", even though he decided to not use the song she made with him on new Coldplay album 'Viva La Vida'. He revealed Kylie had written a song for his band, and that they had done some recording together, but said that in the end it just wasn't right for the new long player. Keen to show that he did invest quite a bit of time into his Kylie collaboration before axing it from the album, he told the magazine: "I took apart the song she did with us, like a Corby trouser press".
