Chris Martin took himself off Streets single

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin put the brakes on his collaboration with The Streets' Mike Skinner - because he thought a version of single 'Dry your eyes' sounded better without him.

The 'Yellow' hitmaker went into the studio with Skinner to record vocals for the acclaimed single but, upon hearing a take in which his voice was replaced by Skinner's, Martin insisted they cut him out.
