In clips posted from fans at the show, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin plays piano while blending his voice with the “Stitches” singer’s. “Sing it loud!” Mendes tells the crowd before diving into the ballad’s emotional lyrics: “Tears stream down your face / I promise you I will learn from my mistakes.”
Toward the end, Martin gave his duet partner a chance to sing the last few lines of the 2005 hit solo. “Lights will guide you home / And ignite your bones,” Mendes sang softly as fans in the stadium waved light-up bracelets in the air. “And I will try to fix you.”
The surprise performance comes about a week after Mendes dropped two new singles — “Why Why Why” and “Isn’t That Enough” — ahead of his new album Shawn. Arriving Oct. 18, the LP marks his fifth studio record and follows 2020’s Wonder and 2018’s Shawn Mendes, both of which topped the Billboard 200.
Coldplay also has a new album on the way — Moon Music, which is slated for an Oct. 4 release. The band unveiled its tracklist one day after performing with Mendes, posting a video on Instagram of Martin writing — or drawing, in the case of one that’s simply a rainbow emoji — the song titles on a small sheet of paper.
In total, Moon Music consists of 10 tracks: “Moon Music,” “feelslikeimfallinginlove,” “We Pray” feat. Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & TINI, “Jupiter,” “Good Feelings” featuring Ayra Starr, “🌈,” “iAAM,” “Aeterna,” “All My Love” and “One World.”
