Chris Martin has confessed he was “a mess” after splitting from wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Coldplay frontman said he struggled with parting from the American actress in 2014 after 10 years of marriage.
Speaking in documentary Coldplay: A Head Full Of Dreams, Martin explained that while the band toured their album Mylo Xyloto he felt “completely worthless and nothing to anybody.”
He said: “I was just like, ‘I'm a mess’, really, because I can't enjoy the great things around me. Then, of course, I went through a break-up with Gwyneth.
“Listen, I'm never going to moan, I'm grateful for everything, but it was pretty touch and go.”
Martin’s bandmates Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion and former manager Phil Harvey admitted they were worried about the star and left thinking about the “worst-case scenario.”
Harvey said: “Your mind can go to the worst case scenario. I was worried about him to the extent that I was just really glad to get a text in the morning just to know he was OK.”
Martin and Paltrow share 14-year-old daughter Apple and 12-year-old son Moses.
Both stars have moved on, with Martin speculated to be dating Fifty Shades of Grey actress Dakota Johnson while Paltrow recently married director Brad Falchuk.
Paltrow revealed earlier this year that Martin is now “like a brother” to her following their split.
The 45-year-old said: “He’s really like my brother, we’re very familial. It’s nice, it’s great.
“Divorce is terrible, it was very painful, it was really hard. We really genuinely wanted our kids to be as unscathed as possible.
“We thought if we could really maintain the family even though we weren’t a couple that was kind of the goal so that’s what we’ve tried to do.”
