Coldplay fans were brought to tears on Wednesday after lead singer Chris Martin pulled a fan up on stage to sing a tribute to his late friend who had passed away.
The Paradise singer, 46, who is currently in the middle of his band's Music Of The Sphere world tour, made sure the first of his two nights in Cardiff was one to remember.
Midway through his set, the musician spotted a man in the crowd who was holding up a banner asking to sing alongside the vocalist in dedication to his late friend.
The sign read: 'Play Everglow with me for my best friend in heaven.'
A concert-goer was able to catch the moment on camera as the man, named Salir, joined Chris on stage at his piano for a rendition of the band's song.

In the clip, Chris, donning a tie-dyed T-shirt, asked in reference to the sign: 'When did he pass away?'
Salir then informed the singer that it was only a month ago that he lost his friend.
Reacting to the sad news, Chris said: 'Last month. Okay, man. S**t.
'Well, we're gonna sing this together for him, okay?'
As the pair prepared to start the song, the stadium can be seen erupting in cheer, as Salir nods in delight.
Just before starting, Chris joked: 'The song Everglow by Coldplay? Just to be clear.'
Salir can then be seen laughing as he waves to the crowd, before the lights dim and Chris starts singing.
Chris then thanked him for coming, adding: 'Right now, you're representing everybody else.'
