Justin Timberlake has again stated he would like to work with Coldplay, calling them "the modern Beatles."

The pop icon has previously spoken of his admiration for the Brit rockers, who are currently on sabbatical recording the follow-up to 2005's X&Y.

Justin, who is preparing for a series of shows in London next month, has close ties with Timbaland, who is understood to be working on the new Coldplay LP.

Speaking about a possible collaboration, he said: "Coldplay are the modern Beatles, so I'd love to do a duet with them--especially Chris Martin."
