Coldplay Pay Tribute To Viola Beach

During headline Glastonbury slot...

Coldplay paid tribute to Viola Beach during an emotional headline slot at Glastonbury last night (June 27th).

The band were joined by a series of guests for their set, with The Bee Gees' Barry Gibb making a rare public appearance.

It was a segment dedicated to Viola Beach, however, that truly brought the house down. The young group were tragically killed earlier this year, with Chris Martin saying a few words of respect.

The frontman told the crowd: "We decided to create Viola Beach's alternate reality and let them headline Glastonbury for a song."

Footage of the band then lit up on the screens, with Coldplay performing along to 'Boys That Sing'.
