Performing the covers at their fourth of six Wembley shows in London last night (August 17), Coldplay brought out the All Saints member towards the latter end of their sold-out set, sharing the stage with Lewis for covers of the songs âPure Shoresâ and âNever Everâ. Watch that below:

Co-written by Lewis, âPure Shoresâ was first released in 2000, and was the lead single for All Saintsâ second studio album, âSaints & Sinnersâ. âNever Everâ, meanwhile, comprised the tracklist of the girl groupâs self-titled debut LP, which was released in 1997.
Manning the piano for his Wembley cover of âNever Everâ â which remains All Saintsâ highest-charting single â Coldplay frontman Chris Martin can be seen duetting with Lewis on the songâs chorus, with assists from guitarist Jonny Buckland. Coldplay drummer Will Champion provides beats for the stripped-back rendition.
Elsewhere in their 26-song set, Coldplay performed tracks from âMusic Of The Spheresâ, the bandâs most recent 2021 album which they are currently touring the world in support of. It marked their fourth appearance at Wembley this month, and was added to the bandâs run of dates following the immediate sell-out of their previous shows at the iconic venue.
Lewis joins a slew of additional musicians brought out by Coldplay during their âMusic Of The Spheresâ world tour. On Tuesday night (August 16), the band was joined on stage by Natalie Imbruglia, who paid tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John by covering ‘Summer Nights’ with the band. They also performed Imbruglia’s 1997 hit ‘Torn’.
Meanwhile, Coldplay also enlisted Craig David, who performed his songs âLive In The Momentâ, âFill Me Inâ and â7 Daysâ at each of the first two Wembley Stadium shows.
During the North American leg of their tour in April, Coldplay also brought out Bruce Springsteen, Kylie Minogue and Kelly Rowland, who each performed on-stage covers of their songs âWorking on a Dreamâ, âCanât Get You Out of My Headâ and âIndependent Women Part Iâ respectively.
In a five-star review of their London stadium show on Wednesday night, NMEâs Hannah Mylrea dubbed Coldplayâs performance âa joyful spectacle; a masterclass in how a massive pop show can be done.â
Coldplay will perform two additional shows at the stadium at the end of this week, before taking to Glasgow with support act H.E.R. for their final UK date. Coldplayâs âMusic Of The Spheresâ world tour â which was announced in October 2021 and has since taken the band across Europe and the US â will wrap up in September, with a performance at Rioâs Rock in Rio Festival.
