CHRIS MARTIN TOLD NOT TO PLAY WITH NELLY FURTADO

Back in February, Nelly Furtado was trilling about the track she'd recorded with Chris Martin.

Sadly, though, we're not going to hear the results of this meeting of minds, because Martins' label has panicked. Nelly explains:

"Chris's label didn't want his voice sounding so rocky, so they said we couldn't use the song. Now it's on the album with just me singing it."

Yes, Parlophone were afraid if Martin sounded too growly, it might scare off (or simply scare) Coldplay fans.

How growly would he have been in the context of a Nelly Furtado record, anyway?

    After befriending Natalie Imbruglia and writing Green Eyes (which he doesn't play anymore...), there was rumours of a friendship between Nelly and Chris circa 2001/2002. Presumably if they've worked together recently everything's hunky dory, but Gwyn's not known for her tolerance of... much. - Elvis
