Jay-Z and comedian Simon Pegg both joined Coldplay onstage at the first of their two Wembley Stadium gigs in London last night (September 18).
The band played a 26-song set to a capacity crowd at the stadium, utilising a number of different stage areas as they did so. Earlier in the evening, White Lies, Girls Aloud and Jay-Z provided support, and Jay-Z went on to join Coldplay during their set when they played 'Lost+'.
Pegg, a long term friend and champion of the band, appeared onstage to play the harmonica part of early track 'Trouble'. Elsewhere in Coldplay's set, the band played an acoustic version of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean', garnering an emphatic response from the audience.
