Beyoncé may love Coldplay's "Yellow" and agreed to sing with the band for the recently released "Hymn for the Weekend," but just like David Bowie, she also once rejected a collaboration with the group.

In a new Rolling Stone interview, lead singer Chris Martin says he played a song he wrote called "Hook Up" for the singer and her producer, but she turned it down and called it "awful."

"[She turned it down] in the sweetest possible way: She told me, 'I really like you — but this is awful,'" he said.

The two performed together during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, along with Bruno Mars, Sunday night.
