HOTPLAY: DUFFY SETS HER HAIR ON FIRE AT COLDPLAY CONCERT!

Welsh soul star DUFFY almost went up in flames last week when she accidentally set her hair alight backstage at a COLDPLAY concert. The Mercy singer recently supported the British rockers at a gig in Cleveland, Ohio - but found herself in a potentially life-threatening situation when her blonde locks caught fire from a candle in her dressing room.

She says,

"I was in the dressing room and I had music on and candles alight."The venue was a huge stadium, like a big sports centre. The dressing rooms had big white lights, no mirrors and lockers all along. They were super cool but you wouldn't want to spend three hours in there. So I was giving it a little bit of razzle dazzle. I had dimmed the lights then I lit this candle and it started melting a bit. I thought, 'S**t!' and started blowing it out. I got a cloth to wipe it up and bent down, not realising it was still lit. Then the entire left side of my hair went up in flames."

But her cringe-worthy situation soon got worse when she realised Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was on his way to visit her. She recalls,

"At that moment, Chris was walking down the corridor to say, 'Hi'. I hadn't met him before and the place stank of burning hair. "Somebody came in and said, 'Is someone cooking chicken?' I had black crumbs of hair all down me so I had to give it a chop and pin it back. It was really bad and properly embarrassing. Chris could smell it, you couldn't avoid smelling it. Can you imagine if I had gone up in flames? Nightmare. I honestly saw my life flash before my eyes."

Sorry! I am laughing so bad but it's not funny. I even went to burn some of KJ's hair that was just trimmed just to smell the feeling!! Ouch! That was no "Coldplay." No offense, but I wonder if blonde hair smells like tough black hair as in the race and color? Poor Duffy!
