Martin's losing his marbles: Coldplay to go country?
disnews by DiS News September 22nd, 2005
Coldplay chief Chris Martin has told The Daily Star that he's got a country album just waiting to get out of him.

"Country is a very sleeping beast within us," said the singer. "We have two things we're not allowed to do - country and rap - just because of where we're from. So I think they'll rear their heads at some point in the future."

Rap? Straight up: Martin continued by saying, "I think the only future for music is if you bring together the most disparate worlds. That would be an album between Garth Brooks, Coldplay and Kanye West and produced by Timbaland."

Reckon he bought the Judgement Night soundtrack as a nipper?
