Coldplay's Chris Martin joked yesterday (October 24) that Take That made him question his sexuality.
The singer, who was presenting Take That mainman Gary Barlow with an award at the Q Awards, opened up about his love of U2 and Take That as a teenager, reports The Sun.
Speaking about who his favourite bands were when growing up, Martin said they were: "U2 and five handsome, strapping men from Stoke and Manchester. I'm not afraid to admit it, they made me ask the question 'Am I gay?'"
U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jnr later joked that the singer had been right to question his sexuality, saying: "Chris Martin, I have the answer for you — you are gay."
