Watch: Chris Martin shocks newlyweds with surprise wedding performance
Chris Martin gave a surprise performance at some fans' wedding at the weekend after the groom's mother wrote to him to ask for a video message.
Chris Martin gave a surprise performance at a couple's wedding at the weekend - after being contacted by the groom's mother.
The Coldplay frontman stunned the guests at a reception at Blithfield Lakeside Barns in Rugeley, Staffordshire, on Saturday night (13.12.25) when he walked out to perform the band's hit All My Love for the newlyweds' first dance.
Chris, who played piano and sang, had been contacted by the groom's mother, who asked if he could send a congratulatory video to the couple but he kindly got in touch and offered to perform because he was free that night.
Blithfield Lakeside Barns co-owner Alex Brown told the Stoke Sentinel: "Chris got back and said he could go one better.
"He said I'm free that night so I'll come and play the first dance. He didn't want any introduction so we said it was the first dance and he walked in and performed.
"The bride and groom did know he was coming. It was kept as a surprise for the guests. I don't think they realised it was him until the end!
"Chris was great and it was amazing for the bride and groom. It was all about them but it's great exposure for us. Chris is a really good guy."
The 48-year-old singer, who wore a beanie hat, hugged the couple once the song had finished.
The newlyweds, who have been identified only as Mr. and Mrs. Hotchkiss, will be "forever grateful" to the Yellow hitmaker.
They told ITV News Central in a statement: "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.
"We ensured to keep it secret as a surprise for our guests.
"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."
