Snow Patrol to do Cheryl cover?

Monday November 16 2009

Snow Patrol have revealed that they would like to do a cover of Cheryl Cole's single, Fight For This Love.

The Northern Irish rockers duetted with the Girls Aloud star at the Children In Need show, and frontman Gary Lightbody said he now fancies doing a version of her No 1 single.

"We've spoken about doing more covers, maybe reworking Cheryl's Fight For This Love - I love pop music, some of it is life-affirming," he told The Sun.

The 33-year-old also recalled how the band got a case of the nerves when they were asked to headline this year's V Festival.

They were "absolutely shell-shocked" when they stepped in to top the bill at the festival after Oasis pulled out, following claims that Liam Gallagher was suffering from laryngitis.

Gary said: "I got even more nervous when Noel [Gallagher] called me and said we had to include a few Oasis numbers, but being out there was the most incredible, amazing feeling.

"I'd like to experience that again and headline more festivals," he added.
