Foxes was all set to start recording her new album before Coldplay interfered

Foxes

Basically, right, 'Cruel' hitmaker Foxes was about to start working on her third album when she got a phone call asking her to support Coldplay on tour in America and that fucked everything up.

Having a chat with someone on Coldplay's official website about how it all happened, Foxes said the following words using her mouth:

"I was on my way back from Japan, which was really going to be my last touring promo trip before I started writing another record. And then we get an email from my agent in America saying “Chris [Martin, obvs] would love you to join them on their US tour”. We were just about to get on the plane, and I was com­pletely in shock! It was crazy."

So crazy. Were you literally ready to get back into the studio though, and were you, like, 'this is the chance of a lifetime that I can't turn down'?

"I was literally ready to get back into the studio, but I was like, this is the chance of a lifetime! I can’t turn this down!".

So she didn't and here we are. Cheers Chris etc!
