Coldplay pay tribute to Johnny Cash on North American tour

COLDPLAY have been playing tribute to Johnny Cash on the North American leg of their TWISTED LOGIC world tour.


The band have added the legend’s classic ‘Ring Of Fire’ to the acoustic section of their show alongside the set regulars ’Don’t Panic’ and ’’Til Kingdom Come’, which was written for [a][/a] but never recorded by him before his death in 2003.


Coldplay have performed the song at their last three shows – at Indianapolis Verizon Wireless Music Center, East Troy Alpine Valley Music Theatre and Seattle White River Amphitheater.
