Kylie got the cold shoulder

KYLIE MINOGUE recorded a vocal for COLDPLAY’s new album but it didn’t make the final cut.

The Pop Princess’s effort was scrapped after frontman CHRIS MARTIN decided it didn’t fit the mood.

Kylie and Coldplay share a record label, Parlophone, but their sessions together for the rockers’ eagerly awaited fourth collection, Viva La Vida, were at times fraught.

Chris told Q mag’s website Q4music.com: “Kylie is awesome. She’s like GIRLS ALOUD rolled into one.”

But he added: “I took apart the song she did with us, like a Corby trouser press.”

Whatever you say, Chris.

Bassist GUY BERRYMAN added that the album, due out on June 12, is the band’s most political yet.

He said: “There’s this slightly anti-authoritarian viewpoint that’s crept into some of the lyrics.

“It’s the pay-off between being surrounded by governments on one side, but also we’re human beings with emotions and we’re all going to die...and the stupidity of what we have to put up with.”
