After an energetic performance of ‘Biutyful,’ Chris Martin returned to the stage alone, holding an acoustic guitar. He addressed the crowd, saying, “We have a new song which you weren’t supposed to hear until September, but I’m going to play it for you now one time. It would be better if you didn’t put this on the internet. I know that is difficult to ask. But can you just treat this like a rehearsal between us?” This intimate moment resonated deeply with the audience, creating a unique and exclusive connection.
