The Kate Bush fever isn't over! Recently, Coldplay performed one of the English singer's best hits, and as a bonus, they also covered a popular ABBA song.
According to ALT 98.7, the band performed at the Wembley Stadium in England last weekend, where comedian Steve Coogan joined them.
The band and the actor sang the songs "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" by Kate Bush and ABBA's "Knowing Me, Knowing You."
Bush's song's popularity skyrocketed over the past few months after it was featured on the fourth season of "Stranger Things," which was significantly used in some unforgettable scenes.
Coogan came in character as Alan Partridge for the songs. Before they began singing the track, the comedian cracked a joke asking the true meaning behind the song, saying, "What do you think this song's about? Because it can't just be about running."
Taking to their official Instagram account, Coldplay shared a clip of their performance in England, captioning the post, "Thank you Alan Partridge for giving us a huge Wembley singalong."
Aside from the actor, Jacob Collier and Nicole Lawrence were also at the show to play the piano and pedal steel guitar.
Coldplay Halts Wembley Show As Christ Martin Wants Fans to Stop Doing THIS
During their Wembley show, frontman Chris Martin temporarily stopped the concert because he wanted fans to stop filming and using their phones while performing.
"Let's try that again but please if we could just have one song with no cell phones, no cameras, no devices, nothing, just the power of people, people power," he said.
Fans could record and take photos throughout the show except when they performed "A Sky Full of Stars," as he wanted people to "connect" to them through music and disconnecting from their devices.
After his request, the crowd went wild, and they appeared to enjoy the show even if they didn't film the performance.
"Without a doubt the highlight of the night came shortly after this video ended," one fan shared on TikTok before the clip abruptly cut after Martin's request.
The band is currently touring around the world for their "Music of the Spheres" tour. Their next show would be at the Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, United Kingdom, on August 23.
The show is sold out, but fans can still purchase last-minute tickets for their additional show on August 24.
