Kylie Minogue 'Too Sexy' For Coldplay Album 6/3/08

Coldplay star Chris Martin scrapped a collaboration he recorded with pop superstar Kylie Minogue from his band's forthcoming Lp Viva Viva La Vida Or Death And His Friends - because it was "too sexy".

The Spinning Around hitmaker laid down vocals for a track she penned with the British rockers, but frontman Martin decided to leave the record off their new album - insisting it doesn't suit their current sound.

He tells Britain's Q radio station, "Well, it's just too sexy. At this point we cannot be that sexy, also we haven't quite finished it. It's a song called 'Lunar' and Kylie is particularly brilliant on it." But the track hasn't been axed completely - Martin promises it will hit record shops in 2009.

He adds, "I'm going to tell you exclusively that it will be on a record that we will put out at the end of next year."
