Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says One Direction are a ''brilliant'' pop group and admits he is a big fan of their music.
Chris Martin has praised One Direction.
The Coldplay frontman described the 'Kiss You' hitmakers as ''brilliant'' and admits he is a big fan of the pop group - which is comprised of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - during an in-depth a BBC Radio 1 interview with Zane Lowe, due to air next Monday (28.04.14).
Chris says: ''I'm saying One Direction are brilliant. I'm not kidding.''
This isn't the first time that Chris has gushed about his love for the teen heartthrobs, as he covered the band's debut hit, 'What Makes You Beautiful' during a concert in Florida two years ago and recently told a contestant that they should use Harry as inspiration during his appearance on 'The Voice' USA earlier this month.
During the Q&A the 'Magic' singer also alludes to the recent upheaval in his personal life following his separation from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
He says: ''Everyone in their live goes through their challenges - whether it's love or money or kids or illness.''
