Talk about bad business moves! Coldplay turned up their noses at the chance to have their signature hits showcased on the hit TV musical comedy Glee — and its a decision the “Clocks” hitmakers sorely regret.
Before unveiling Glee’s ratings-winning all-Madonna-themed episode, which aired last week, series creator Ryan Murphy approached Coldplay with an offer to feature the band’s music on a special episode of the FOX show but was disappointed when the musicians turned him down flat.
Now that Glee’s become a pop phenomenon, the bandmates have big regrets about not allowing Murphy access to their back catalogue.
“We were wrong,” Murphy smirks, recalling his last conservation with Chris Martin and his bandmates.
