Coldplay, Rihanna wield samurai swords in 'Princess Of China' preview

Coldplay and Rihanna have released a behind-the-scenes look at their new music video.

The band will release 'Princess Of China' as the fourth official single from their recent album Mylo Xyloto, which features guest vocals from the Bajan singer.



The accompanying music video will see the acts team up to create an "old kung-fu styled" movie, according to Rihanna in the backstage footage.

The clip sees Coldplay's Chris Martin elevated and brandishing a samurai sword, while Rihanna lays comfortably on a sofa in traditional geisha attire.

The video for 'Princess Of China' is expected to premiere in full within the coming weeks.

Martin recently confessed that he has suffered from tinnitus for the past ten years and has fronted a campaign to highlight the ear condition.
