Hooray! Chris Martin has announced that it would be more likely for hell to freeze over and the pope to declare that it no longer existed before he'd ever consider releasing a solo album. *Whole world sighs with relief*

Coldplay's Chris claimed that if he ever did become a solo artist, it would probably be because wife Gwyneth Paltrow has dumped him. Don't ever leave him Gwyneth, if not for the sake of the children, just think of the ensuing tedium and our eardrums.

Chris said:

It would probably mean I’ve been dumped by my wife and I desperately need the money. Hell would not only have to freeze over but be skated over and completely closed up. The Pope would have to declare it didn’t even exist. I cannot think of anything worse.

And he's not alone...

But his is finding the inspiration to write Coldplay's nextt album.

He added:

The main thing I do on tour is write, then go watch The Wire.

Suddenly The Wire loses its cult followers and becomes instantly uncool...
