He was then joined onstage by Hedlund to perform the seasonal Irving Berlin tune, ‘White Christmas’. He joked with the audience about leaving a “tip jar” at the front, suggesting attendees give “about $5” per song, so they could afford to make a sequel. What happened: At a promotional brunch for the Angelina Jolie film ‘Unbroken’, starring Garrett Hedlund, the Coldplay frontman performed ‘Vida La Vida’ and ‘Miracles’, a song he wrote for the movie. The Coldplay singer wore a T-shirt with the slogan “substitute”. What happened: Chris Martin and Bruce Springsteen stepped into Bono’s shoes to perform on his behalf following his bike injury in Central Park. Where: World AIDS Day (RED) Benefit, New York Kylie just took the roof off the enmore: where the wild roses grow x can't get you out of my head.
Thank you for the magic ?Such an honour to be onstage with you tonight!! ? /lePK3Sz3zIĪnd they of course returned the compliment: After the show, Kylie tweeted Coldplay to say “thank you for the magic”: Martin and Minogue dueted on ‘Can’t Get Your Outta My Head’ at their show at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown, before playing the Minogue and Nick Cave track ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’. What happened: Coldplay celebrated a concert in Sydney in style with a guest performance by Kylie Minogue, the most iconic Australian musician of all time. Clearly feeling the New Year’s spirit, the rapper spent £250,000 on bar drinks over the course of the evening. The band played the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, home of the Brooklyn Nets, the basketball team owned by Jay-Z. What happened: At the Coldplay ‘Holiday Party’ on New Year’s Eve 2012/2013, the band were joined onstage by Gwyneth Paltrow (then married to Chris Martin), Martin’s daughter Apple, Apple’s friend, and Jay-Z, on the track ‘Lost+’ from the ‘Prospekt’s March EP’. Where: The Coldplay ‘Holiday Party’ on New Year’s Eve Martin told the crowd, “I tried to get the guy from ‘Gangnam Style’” he wasn’t available.” Martin provided an acoustic guitar backing to Stripe’s rendition of ‘Losing my Religion’. What happened: In what appears to be a particular talent of Chris Martin’s, the musician convinced the R.E.M frontman to momentarily leave retirement and perform at the benefit concert for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Where: 12-12-12: The Concert For Sandy Relief at Madison Square Gardens The band was joined by Rihanna again for ‘Run This Town’ and a re-worked ‘Paradise’, together with Jay-Z. They were accompanied by Rihanna, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, who entered the arena on the back of a ship model, and performed their collaborative track ‘Princess of China’ for the crowd. What happened: Arguably one of Coldplay’s most legendary concerts to-date, the Paralympics closing ceremony saw the band perform 15 tracks to an 80,000 strong crowd. Where: Paralypics closing ceremony, London Pegg and Martin were also guest co-hosts on Zane Lowe’s show on BBC Radio 1 in 2007. One of the attendees, photographer Nick Pickles, said “ the evening felt less like a gig and more like a few friends messing around on guitars at a house party.” The pair performed ‘Green Eyes’, with Pegg on harmonica. What happened: At the wake of two of their friends who died within a week of one another, Pegg and Martin performed at The Boogaloo in Highgate, thought to be the inspiration behind The Winchester in the Pegg film Shaun Of The Dead. Before exiting the stage, Farnham called the band “an incredible bunch of fellas”.
The Australian pop musician John Farnham triggered an audience-wide clap along for the anthemic classic ‘You’re The Voice’ as the penultimate track of the set. What happened: Shane Warne wasn’t Martin’s only guest on the Australian Vida La Vida tour.
The pair performed the same track in March 2014, less than three weeks before their “conscious uncoupling”, at a benefit for their children’s school. They performed the song ‘Cruisin’’, taken from the Bruce Paltrow directed film Duets (2000). What happened: On the outer fringes of YouTube exists a shaky recording of a Paltrow and Martin duet at a friend’s wedding. The nicest man in rock loves nothing more than sharing the limelight with others, whether they’re industry giants like Kylie Minogue, or his children, Apple and Moses. After a 20-year career, Coldplay have had enough guests up on stage, combined with Martin’s own cameos, to fill an entire concert setlist twice over. In Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’, Lady Catherine De Burgh states that “There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself.” Replace “music” with “duets” and the sentence could be uttered by no other than Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
