Coldplay‘s Chris Martin live-streamed a special performance from his home yesterday as many people continue to self-isolate due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Martin told his followers on Instagram Live that he and his band were meant to be together at the time, but explained that they were all “stuck in different countries” as a result of the global pandemic.
Dubbed ‘Together At Home’, the following 30-minute broadcast saw the frontman take song requests from fans and give shout outs as he sat behind his piano.
The set began with Martin performing ‘A Sky Full Of Stars’ on acoustic guitar, before jumping on the keys to play Coldplay classics ‘Trouble’ and ‘Viva La Vida’. Later, he offered a lesson on how to play David Bowie‘s ‘Life On Mars’ on piano.
While chatting with fans, Martin also touched upon the Global Citizen charity of which he is closely affiliated, highlighting the importance of their aim in eradicating world poverty and inequality.
