Coldplay tapped Simon Pegg for a live performance of the band\u2019s song \u201cA Sky Full of Stars\u201d on Tuesday night. The British actor joined the band on stage at Wembley Stadium in London to showcase the hit, released in 2014.<\/p>\n
Frontman Chris Martin invited Pegg up during the later part of the 23-song set. Although Pegg didn\u2019t sing the track, he did play tambourine. The actor shared a photo of his instrument on an Instagram Story with the caption, \u201cRejoined the band.\u201d He previously performed the song with Coldplay in 2022 at Wembley.<\/p>\n
More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Pegg has dubbed himself an honorary member of the rock band and has regularly collaborated with the musicians. In 2009, he played the harmonica on \u201cTrouble\u201d during another Wembley show and in 2021 he introduced the band before their show at the Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire.<\/p>\n Speaking on England\u2019s\u00a0The Late Late Show<\/em>\u00a0earlier this year, Pegg explained that he has been friends with Martin since very early in the band\u2019s career. \u201cI used to get up and play harmonica, but that\u2019s so nerve-wracking because you can hit a bum note,\u201d he noted. \u201cYou can\u2019t hit a bum note on a tambourine. So if [Martin] asks me to come onstage, I say, \u2018Yes, but it has to be the tambourine!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Coldplay are currently in the midst of a 10-night run at Wembley Stadium. The band will perform tonight, with the following show on Aug. 30. The lengthy stand concludes on Sept. 8.<\/p>\n The group\u2019s Music of the Spheres tour gained notoriety over the past month after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company\u2019s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught on the jumbotron<\/a> in Boston in an intimate embrace. Byron later resigned. Martin recently commented<\/a> on the incident during a show in Hull, England, saying the band didn\u2019t plan to stop including the\u00a0\u201cJumbotron Song\u201d<\/a> in their set.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been doing this a long time, and it is only recently that it became a\u2026 yeah,\u201d Martin said before trailing off. \u201cLife throws you lemons and you\u2019ve got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it because we are going to meet some of you.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
