SHERYL CROW - CROW DEFENDS COLDPLAY AGAINST CRITICS

Singer SHERYL CROW has leaped to the defence of COLDPLAY following a critical backlash against the British band in the US. The phenomenally successful CHRIS MARTIN-fronted four-piece have recently suffered at the hands of American music writers. Crow says, "They've had some scathing reviews in the US. The New York Times just wrote a study in why to hate them. Unfair, I think."
