Coldplay's Chris Martin: Jay-Z Has Helped Me Be Less Neurotic

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed that Jay-Z has helped him become less neurotic.

The singer, who has been close friends with the rapper since 2003, said he had learned a lot from Jay-Z – particularly when it came to dealing with issues.

“When you're lucky enough to spend time with Jay, you just learn from his calmness in dealing with a problem,” he told The Sunday Times.

“That's what I really love about it: if there's a problem, you just fix it. He doesn't worry in a neurotic way.”

Asked if he was a neurotic, Martin replied: “I'm a complete neurotic. But I think I'm learning to worry about you can do rather than what you can't.”

Coldplay are set to release their new album 'Mylo Xyloto' next month.

Meanwhile, the band have today (September 19) announced details of a UK arena tour, which is set to take place in December.
