Chris Martin joined a street busker for a surprise duet

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin walked up to a street busker in London's Trafalgar Square and joined him for a duet of "Viva la Vida." The busker, Hanny Junee, was playing the song as his final number of the night when Martin appeared and started singing along. Junee filmed the moment and posted it to Instagram. "Still can't believe this happened," he wrote. "Thank you, Chris, for the most unforgettable moment of my life!" The video went viral, and Junee added text confirming it was real, with no AI involved. One commenter noted the best detail: Martin apparently did not know he was being filmed, which spared him any stage fright, a phrase that does not usually apply to a man who sells out stadiums. Junee, who describes himself as someone who purely loves music, said he plans to keep traveling and busking. "I feel like I might have used up a lifetime's worth of luck all at once," he wrote.
