Stars line-up to see band perform at The Beatles studio

Coldplay were watched by Kanye West and Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis at their only scheduled UK appearance of the year last night (February 13).

The band performed at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London at a show that was recorded for BBC Radio 2.

The gig was watched by Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis, who Martin namechecked from the stage, describing him as a “God”, as well as Jamie Cullum and rapper Kanye West.

West, who was in the same studio working on new material, watched the last half of the show from the back of the room, and grinned when Martin noticed him.

However, the Coldplay singer was left embarrassed after his organ broke during final song ’Fix You’.

“What would Kanye do?” he joked. “He’d get on with the song and try again.”

The set was:

‘Square One’
‘Politik’
‘Yellow’
‘White Shadows’
‘Swallowed In The Sea’
‘How You See The World Part 2’
‘Don't Panic’
‘Clocks’
‘Talk’
‘Till Kingdom Come’
‘The Hardest Part’
‘In My Place’
‘Fix You’


The show will be broadcast in April to coincide with the release of the band’s next single, ’The Hardest Part’.
