Chris Martin Refuses To Meet Tony Blair

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin refuses to meet Prime Minister Tony Blair because he doesn't share his beliefs. Martin, 28, confessed he likes Tony Blair, but doesn't want to be photographed with him at the moment.

"I'm not going to go," he explained. "I really like Tony Blair. He's interested in the same things as I am - he plays the guitar and he always gives the impression of doing what he can to help. But I don't particularly want to be photographed with him at the moment."

Chris Martin, born March 2, 1977, is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and pianist of the band Coldplay. As a solo artist, Martin has written songs for a variety of acts including "Gravity" (Embrace) and "See It In A Boy's Eyes" (Jamelia).
