Coldplay frontman has erased a new collaboration with Kylie Minogue from the final cut of the band's new album.

 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."
