Coldplay Axe Kylie Minogue Collaboration

Coldplay have ditched a song they recorded with pop star Kylie Minogue, that was supposed to be used for new album 'Viva La Vida'.

Telling Q Magazine, frontman Chris Martin says of the Aussie singer: "Kylie is awesome. She's like Girls Aloud rolled into one."

When asked about the duet, which won't make the final cut of the album, Martin added: "I took the song apart. Like a Corby trouser press. It's now one of those half-finished models in a garage."

The two names got together because they are both signed to the same label, however Coldplay have hinted before that they are Kylie fans, after covering her hit single 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' during their headline performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2005.
