Chris Martin is rumoured to working on new material outside of Coldplay with cheesy dance trio Cascada.

The news was revealed by Jo Whiley on Radio 1 this morning (April 25) but has caused confusion with fans after she first said that Martin had left the band.

Following a number of phone calls from Coldplay followers Whiley was forced to clarify the situation, saying that Martin is in fact working on material for another project.

The material is believed to be for German three piece although no official confirmation has yet been forthcoming.
