Coldplay Delivered A Colorful Performance Of ‘‘Saturday Night Live’

2023 is looking like a busy year for Coldplay. Right now, the band is gearing up for the next leg of their Music Of The Spheres, which will kick off in March in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In the meantime, the iconic UK band took to the Saturday Night Live bands, to perform some fan favorites

 

In their first performance of the night, Coldplay performed “The Astronaut,” their collaboration with BTS’ Jin. During the performance, the band’s lead vocalist Chris Martin was joined by performers dressed in alien masks and colorful helmets, carrying vibrant light-up orbs. As the performance progressed, the Jason Max Ferdinand Singers joined the band onstage, adding equally colorful harmonies. Actress Natasha Ofili offered interpretation for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.

Jin himself was not in attendance, as BTS is currently serving in the Korean military for their mandatory enlistment. Last October, Jin performed “The Astronaut” in Chile with Coldplay. During this performance, Martin recalled how the song came together. His account was captured in a fan-shared video.

“About six months ago, one of [BTS’] members called me up,” said Martin, “and he said, ‘I have to leave the band in December [to join] the army in Korea because that’s the rules there. And he said, ‘I need a song that says goodbye to everybody for a little while, and tells them that I love them… And so I said, ‘Okay, we’ll do a song together.’ And instead of being worried about it, I feel so excited about it, so grateful for this relationship that we have with BTS. And then this song arrived, and I was like, ‘This is one of our best songs – let’s give it to this gentleman.’”

Coldplay: “This is our period of having no fear”
Coldplay were confirmed to be the musical guests on the Pedro Pascal-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live last month. The band previously performed on SNL in November 2019 when they played ‘Everyday Life’ from their album of the same name and ‘Orphans’.

Taking to the stage yesterday, Coldplay performed ‘The Astronaut’, their collaboration with BTS’ Jin ahead of a mash-up of ‘Music Of The Spheres’ track ‘Human Heart’ and iconic ‘X&Y’ track ‘Fix You’.

Late last month, Coldplay took to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform ‘Clocks’ in honour of the show’s 20th anniversary.

Coldplay recently announced four new shows in North America with tickets on sale now. The band are also set to tour Europe and the UK after returning to South America for a series of rescheduled headline gigs.

The band have also teased that new album ‘Moon Music’ is nearly finished. Frontman Chris Martin explained: “We’re finishing an album called ‘Moon Music’, which is the second ‘Music Of The Spheres’ volume, but that won’t come out for a little bit. We might start playing some songs at some point this year.”

At the end of last year, Coldplay revealed they were back in the studio and shared a list of musicians who they were listening to, including The 1975, Inhaler and Stormzy.

They’ve also teased a collaboration with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers. “What was great about working with Coldplay is that we’re all in the room together and it’s sort of like a spiritual thing,” said Rodgers, adding that he “had a blast” with the band.

“It’s like they walk in and they say, ‘Do you want to join the circle or not?’” he said. “I’m an old hippie, you’re speaking my language. Let’s go.”

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely can i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you could have hit the nail about the head. Your notion is outstanding; the catch is an element that inadequate persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy we stumbled across this in my seek out something concerning this.    slot hoki

Hallo. Ich liebe Coldplay wirklich und höre sie schon seit langem. Ich liebe ihre Lieder so sehr, dass ich jetzt Klavierunterricht nehme, um meine Lieblingslieder auf dem Klavier zu spielen. Im Moment lerne ich online Klavier mit der Zapiano-Methode. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Lernen einfach ist und Spaß macht.
