Washington, Dec 18 : Members of the band `Coldplay' are persuading media mogul Simon Cowell to make a guest appearance on their tour - and criticize their performance.

The band members are a huge fan of the American Idol judge and love his mocking remarks.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is hoping to convince Cowell to record a video segment for their upcoming concerts.

"I''ve never met Simon, but I keep wanting him to do a bit in our concert next year. At the end of one song I want him to come on screen and say, ''That was absolutely terrible''. I think he''d be up for it. But now I''ve given away a surprise," Contactmusic quoted Chris Martin, as saying.

Meanwhile, Martin was also in news for clearing the fact that his band is not going to split. (ANI)
