(Radio.com) If you can imagine a David Bowie and Coldplay collaboration, know that such a thing actually came somewhat close to fruition. Frontman Chris Martin revealed at last week's BBC Music Awards that he once wrote a song with the intent of having Bowie sing vocals on it, NME reports.

But his request ended up denied by the iconic singer himself. "One time I sent him a song to ask him to sing on it," Martin recalled. "He called me and said, 'It's not one of your best.' He's got very high standards and I appreciate that. It inspires the rest of us to keep our standards high."

Martin added that Bowie's return to music with 2013's The Next Day gave him a classic case of mixed feelings, but nothing against the quality of the songs at all. Read more here.
