Beyoncé once turned down an ‘awful’ Coldplay collaboration

After performing the biggest concert of his life and receiving lukewarm reviews thereafter, Coldplay’s Chris Martin is getting candid about another case of negative feedback.

Beyonce and Chris Martin are good pals, but this doesn’t mean that she will sing anything coming from Martin.

I may have been one of the many to be disappointed to hear of them headlining the Super Bowl’s halftime show, but I wasn’t filled with vile outrage. She previously refused to collaborate with the dullrock band because the song Chris Martin wrote for her was “awful”.

“In the sweetest way possible: She told me, ‘I really like you – but this is bad, ‘” Martin recalls of pitching her the track.

“I have a very wonderful separation-divorce”. “It’s a divorce – but it’s a weird one …”

In March 2014, Paltrow, 43, announced that she and Martin would begin the process of “conscious uncoupling” after 10 years of marriage. “I was like, ‘Why is our band sometimes a punch line?'” I don’t think about that word very often. I don’t see it that way.
