Jay-Z to join Coldplay stadium tour

Jay-Z will take to the stage with Coldplay for three stadium gigs next year, reports PA.

The hip-hop star will perform at Manchester's Old Trafford, Glasgow's Hampden Park and London's Wembley Stadium in September.

Coldplay recently updated the video for their new release 'Lost' to feature Jay-Z, who raps over the chorus.

The band's frontman Chris Martin defended the US artist earlier this year after he was criticised for headlining the Glastonbury Festival, saying: "He's the best rapper in the world."
