Coldplay frontman Chris Martin gave a surprise performance at a couple’s recent wedding in England.
In footage posted by the BBC, you can see Martin, wearing a white beanie, sitting at a piano and playing the song “ALL MY LOVE,” a cut off Coldplay’s 2024 album, Moon Music.
According to the BBC, the groom’s mother sent a message to Martin asking if he could record a video for the couple. He instead decided to fly in by helicopter and perform in person.
“I’m very happy for the couple,” says venue owner Alexander Brown. “It made their special day extra special, I couldn’t quite believe it.”
Perhaps Martin felt compelled to celebrate the beginning of a relationship after the biggest Coldplay headline of 2025 involved possibly ending one. During a July show in Boston, Coldplay inadvertently caught a couple seemingly engaging in an affair when they appeared on the big screen during a kiss-cam segment.
Though the pair ducked out of frame when they realized they were on camera, the internet quickly identified them as Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron, two executives at a company called Astronomer. Both resigned after the incident.

Stevie Nicks has announced her first non-festival show of 2026.
The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is set to headline Lucas Oil Live in Thackerville, Oklahoma, on April 18.
“I couldn’t stay away for long,” Stevie wrote on Instagram. “See you there!”
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
In addition to the Oklahoma show, Stevie is set to play New Orleans Jazz Fest on April 25. The festival, taking place April 23-26 and April 30-May 3, also features headliners Rod Stewart and the Eagles.
Nicks wrapped her 2025 tour on Dec. 10 in Hollywood, Florida. The tour did not go off without a hitch, though, as Stevie was forced to postpone shows in August and September in order to recover from a fractured shoulder.

Several friends of the late Rob Reiner and Michele Singer are remembering the couple after they were found stabbed to death in their home in California on Sunday.
BillyCrystal and Janice Crystal, Albert Brooks and Kimberly Brooks, Martin Short, Alan Zweibel and Robin Zweibel, Larry David and Ashley Underwood, Marc Shaiman and Lou Mirabal, Barry Levinson and Diana Levinson, and Ambassador James Costos and Michael Smith shared a joint statement with The Associated Press on Tuesday, paying tribute to the couple, who were frequent collaborators and worked together on several iconic classic films, including When Harry Met Sally… and Misery.
The statement memorialized Rob Reiner as an unparalleled director who “was always at the top of his game.”
“Absorbing all he had learned from his father Carl (Reiner) and his mentor Norman Lear, Rob Reiner not only was a great comic actor, he became a master story teller,” it read. “There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to ‘mockumentary’ to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films.”
“His comedic touch was beyond compare, his love of getting the music of the dialogue just right, and his sharpening of the edge of a drama was simply elegant,” the statement continued. “For the actors, he loved them. For the writers he made them better. His greatest gift was freedom. If you had an idea, he listened, he brought you into the process. They always felt they were working as a team. To be in his hands as a film maker was a privilege but that is only part of his legacy.”
Rob Reiner and Singer were also remembered for their activism.
“Rob was also a passionate, brave citizen, who not only cared for this country he loved, he did everything he could to make it better and with his loving wife Michele, he had the perfect partner,” their friends wrote. “Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens. … They were a special force together-dynamic, unselfish and inspiring. We were their friends, and we will miss them forever.”
The friends ended their statement with a quote from what they said was one of Rob Reiner’s favorite films.
“There is a line from one of Rob’s favorite films, It’s a Wonderful Life, ‘Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?'” they wrote. “You have no idea.”
Rob Reiner and Singer were found dead with stab wounds on Sunday in their Los Angeles home.
The couple’s son Nick Reiner was taken into custody on Sunday night and has since been charged by the Los Angeles district attorney with two counts of first-degree murder in relation to his parents’ deaths. He is currently being held without bail.
If convicted, the 32-year-old could face the death penalty.

Myles Smith has been doing free pop-up shows in pubs along the East Coast for the past few days, and on Tuesday he brought a friend along with him.
Myles and Alex Warren, who’ve become good pals, showed up at Kelly’s Irish Times pub in Washington, D.C., attracting hundreds of rabid fans. In footage posted on Instagram and TikTok, Myles leads the crowd in an a cappella sing-along of Alex’s #1 hit “Ordinary,” before they sing Myles’ hit “Stargazing” at the top of their lungs.
“Random Tuesday with @alexwarren most fun l’ve had in a while,” Myles captioned the Instagram post. The text on the video reads, “POV: you and your best friend shut down a bar in [sic] a random Tuesday.”
“Alex and Myles being actual friends is one of the best things ever,” commented one fan.
The D.C. gig was the final performance of the year for both Alex and Myles. Next year, Alex launches his first headlining arena tour, while Myles will be opening for his and Alex’s mutual pal Ed Sheeran on Ed’s LOOP stadium tour.

(NEW YORK) — Federal prosecutors in New York unsealed criminal charges Wednesday in connection with the collapse of subprime auto lender and used car retailer Tricolor Holdings, which went bankrupt earlier this year.
Founder and CEO Daniel Chu, COO Daniel Goodgame, and former Tricolor executives Jerome Kollar and Ameryn Seibold, were charged with conspiracy, bank fraud and running a continuing financial crimes enterprise, according to the indictment from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Kollar and Seibold have pleaded guilty to fraud and are cooperating with the government, according to prosecutors.
“CEO Daniel Chu was the leader of an elaborate scheme to defraud creditors of Tricolor,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement announcing the indictment. “At his direction, Tricolor repeatedly lied to banks and other credit providers, including by falsifying auto-loan data and ‘double pledging’ collateral. Fraud became an integral component of Tricolor’s business strategy.”
“The resulting billion-dollar collapse harmed banks, investors, employees and customers,” Clayton said.
Tricolor Holdings is a provider of subprime auto loans. The company also operates a chain of used car dealerships across the Southwest. It specializes in loans to low-credit and no-credit buyers, often issuing them without a credit check, the indictment said.
The defendants “engaged in a series of frauds directed at each of Tricolor’s lenders,” the indictment said. They allegedly double-pledged the same collateral to multiple lenders, allowing Tricolor to borrow against the same assets, at the same time, repeatedly, according to the indictment, and also “manipulated loan date to make ineligible, delinquent loans appear current and compliant with lender requirements.”
To cover their tracks, the defendants simply fabricated records, including fake customer payments, according to the indictment. Federal prosecutors said this fraudulent activity became Tricolor’s “routine manner of business.”
When Tricolor filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in September, its lenders – which included JPMorgan Chase, Fifth Third Bancorp and Barclays – sustained multi-million-dollar losses, prosecutors said.
Chu, 62, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of the first count of the four with which he’s charged, Continuing Financial Crimes Enterprise. The remaining defendants face sentences of between five and 30 years in prison.

Jack Black paid tribute to late director Rob Reiner during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, calling the This Is Spinal Tap filmmaker “such an incredible inspiration to me.”
“There is no Tenacious D without Spinal Tap,” Black said.
This Is Spinal Tap, which was released in 1984, is a mockumentary about a fictional metal band called Spinal Tap. The film, which marked Reiner’s directorial debut, became a cult favorite and eventually inspired a sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, that just premiered in September.
“I just wanted to really quick give a shoutout for one of the biggest inspirations in my life and send love to the universe to one of the greats,” Black said of Reiner. “He brought so much joy.”
Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer, 68, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Sunday. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested for murder.

Singer Paul Rodgers was born in Middlesbrough, England.
Rodgers would go on to form the rock band Free in 1968 with drummer Simon Kirke, guitarist Paul Kossoff and bassist Andy Fraser. The band landed a #1 hit with ”All Right Now,” which Rodgers co-wrote with Fraser.
After their breakup, Rodgers and Kirke formed the supergroup Bad Company with Mott The Hoople’s Mick Ralphs and the King Crimson’s Boz Burrell.
Bad Company’s self-titled debut album was released in 1974 and hit #1 thanks to such classic songs as “Can’t Get Enough” and the title track. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025.
After leaving Bad Company in 1982, Rodgers launched a successful solo career and fronted the band The Law, featuring former Faces drummer Kenney Jones. He also toured and recorded an album with Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor under the name Queen + Paul Rodgers.
In 2023, Rodgers released Midnight Rose, his first solo album in almost 25 years, and revealed to the world he had suffered a series of strokes starting in 2016 that nearly took away his ability to sing.
