When Coldplay took the stage on an episode of UK TV staple the Graham Norton Show last year, even some of their most ardent haters had to admit that they put on a stunning performance. Giving a tear-jerking rendition of their latest single ‘All My Love,’ singer Chris Martin’s voice sounded nothing less than angelic, while the rest of the band really brought the performance together and had fans raving about their abundance of musical talent.
The stage setup for the rendition was also nothing less than stunning. At first, the band appeared to be performing on a plain black stage with no decoration or adornment other than a bunch of red balloons sitting in the corner, a reference to the music video for the song. In a delightful twist, however, as the song reached its crescendo, the stage was lit up by a host of twinkling fairy lights and spotlights, giving the impression that the stage was coming alive alongside the band.
Coldplay are one of the most popular bands in the world right now, and as such it’s no surprise to see many of their most loyal fans flocking to the video’s comment section to share their love and praise for this performance. One of the most popular comments saw a fan predicting that the heartfelt love song would soon be played “at thousands of weddings everywhere!”, while another came from someone confessing that they did not expect to be so blown away by a Coldplay song.
Alongside this stellar rendition from the Graham Norton Show, Music Man readers might be familiar with Coldplay’s recent live performance of ‘All My Love’ at the Billboard Music Awards, which has also been making waves online recently.
