Coldplay star Chris Martin said he would consider making a solo album only if he split with wife Gwyneth Paltrow and “desperately” needed money.

Chris, 33, is married to Hollywood actress Gwyneth, 36, and said he is not planning a solo album any time soon.

He said: “It would probably mean I’ve been dumped by my wife and I desperately need the money.

“Hell would not only have to freeze over but be skated over and completely closed up.

“The Pope would have to declare it didn’t even exist. I cannot think of anything worse.”

Chris and the rest of the band are currently touring the world and have been watching DVD boxsets of hit US TV series The Wire while away from home.

Chris said: “The main thing I do on tour is write, then go watch The Wire.”
