Coldplay: 'We never smash up hotels'

Coldplay's Chris Martin has said that his band never wreck hotel rooms because he used to be a cleaner.

The 31-year-old frontman claimed he couldn't bear to think about the staff forced to tidy up after them if they ruined their accommodation.

"When you're a cleaner and you walk into a trashed room, it's truly annoying," Martin told The Sun.

"All you want to do is go on your tea break - and you get faced with that."

He added: "Spare a thought for the poor schmuck cleaning the room."
