Gwyneth Paltrow Convinced Girls Aloud To Support Coldplay Add to My Fav Bands List

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, helped her husband persuade Girls Aloud to support the band on tour, it's been claimed.

Girls Aloud are due to warm-up for Coldplay before their show at London's Wembley Stadium on September 18th.

Martin is understood to have phoned each member of the girl group separately to ask them if they would support the band, with Paltrow on hand to help convince them.

“The girls were buzzing to get a personal call from Chris. They never thought he would be such a big fan,” a source told the Sun newspaper.

"After hanging up from Chris, Nicola [Roberts] called Cheryl [Cole] to tell her the good news, but Cheryl had come off the phone from him minutes before and was still in shock.

“Chris roped in his missus to give Cheryl an X-Factor-style sing-song. Gwyn belted out the girls’ hit single down the phone with Chris joining in.”

Coldplay's concerts at Wembley are part of a four-date stadium tour which will also include performances in Manchester and Glasgow.

US rapper Jay-Z will support Coldplay on their second night at Wembley on September 19th.
