Coldplay drummer Will Champion previously made a cameo on the show in 2013. The drummer appeared in a rowdy banquet scene and did not have any lines.

Champion isn’t the only rock star to pop up on Game Of Thrones. Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody made an appearance as a soldier in an episode that aired in April.

Coldplay recently launched an online timeline documenting the history of the group, including unseen video of the band’s rehearsal for Live 8 with Richard Ashcroft in 2005. Entitled ‘The Coldplay Timeline’, the new feature on their official website Coldplay.com charts their first rehearsal in 1998 right up to the present day.

The band also posted a note confirming they are currently recording new LP ‘A Head Full Of Dreams’. Singer Chris Martin previously announced the name of their seventh studio effort last December.
