Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, recently surprised a Staffordshire bride and groom at their wedding. The popular singer and songwriter performed for the couple during their first dance. He sang the band’s 2024 single All My Love and played the piano.

According to reports, Coldplay was contacted to send a congratulatory message to the couple to make their wedding memorable. However, Chris Martin decided to go further and attend the wedding in person. Not only that, he sang live.

After his performance, the singer gave them a hug before leaving.

“My Mother-in-law contacted Chris's team in hopes for a congratulatory message for our special day, but instead to be given this opportunity is staggering,” the newlyweds told ITV News Central.

Mr and Mrs Hotchkiss added that they didn't let their guests know as they wanted to make it a surprise.

“We would like to thank Chris and his team for making our already special day, even more special. We know our 15 month old daughter was captivated by his song. We are forever grateful.”

“All My Love is really the final Coldplay single. After this, there’s no more singles, because we don’t want to do that,” the frontman told the publication.

He continued:

“Of all of the songs that have dropped through really quickly, this is maybe the one that I just don’t understand how it happened. I’m so grateful for this song. I don’t know if and when it will connect with who or not, but for me, it’s a really important song.”

Adding:

“It’s like, after everything we’ve been through, you have all my love. That’s it. That’s how we feel about life and the world and our fans and our critics and everybody. I didn’t really have to do anything on that song. I just played it. I don’t know how to explain that. Even when I’m playing it now, I’m like: ‘how did that come through?’”

All My Love was written by Chris Martin alongside Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion, Moses Martin, and John Metcalfe. The lyrics of the song describe a love that stands the test of time.
