London, July 28 - British rockers Coldplay have signed up to appear in hit animated show 'The Simpsons'.

The cartoon series regularly features star guests and has seen cameos from high profile acts, including Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Green Day, Aerosmith and U2.

Now the 'Yellow' hitmakers are set to join the yellow cast for a one-off episode, in which comedic patriarch Homer Simpson wins the lottery and hires the band to perform a private show for his family, reports contactmuasic.com.
