Pop princess Kylie Minogue took time out of her busy schedule to record a vocal for British band Coldplay - but frontman Chris Martin erased it from the final cut.

The "Spinning Around" hitmaker - who shares the record label, Parlophone, with the band - agreed to add her vocals to a track on their forthcoming album Viva La Vida.

But Martin scrapped the star's input.

Martin says, "Kylie is awesome. She's like Girls Aloud rolled into one. "I took apart the song she did with us, like a Corby trouser press."
