British rockers Coldplay have signed up to appear in hit animated show The Simpsons. The cartoon series regularly features star guests and has seen cameos from high profile acts including Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Green Day, Aerosmith and U2.

And now the band with the song titled "Yellow" are set to join the yellow cast for a one-off episode, in which comedic patriarch Homer Simpson wins the lottery and hires the band to perform a private show for his family.

Late singer Eartha Kitt will also appear in the upcoming 21st season of the show - she filmed her appearance before her death last year. The new episodes are due to air beginning in September.
