Discover the reason why the individual who sang along to a Coldplay tune at the famous Las Vegas dive bar Dino’s Lounge last Saturday sounded remarkably good.
The talented performer was none other than Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, who had just finished a solo performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena. He arrived in a comical disguise with a wig, thick-framed glasses, and a suit, entertaining the packed yet intimate crowd.
During the surprise appearance, Martin, referred to simply as “Chris,” serenaded the audience with the song “All My Love” from Coldplay’s upcoming album “Moon Music,” set to release on October 4. The moment was captured by a film crew hired by Live Nation, the event’s producer.
Only a few individuals, including the owner, Martin, his bodyguard, and the film crew, were aware of the planned performance – not even the bar staff knew in advance.
At one point, Martin interacted with a woman named “Trish,” to whom he handed a red balloon he had acquired from a vendor in the parking lot. The audience erupted in cheers as Martin expressed his gratitude, exclaiming, “Thanks for letting me do that. Beatles forever.”
A video of the memorable evening was shared on YouTube by a user named Laurie Rogers, garnering 16,000 views. The video can be viewed below.
Commenting on the heartfelt gesture, YouTube user @HummingbirdInAHurricane remarked, “Gestures like this reinforce and magnify why Chris Martin has always struck me as one of the most humble, down to earth lead singers among all established groups.”
Dino’s Lounge, previously known as Ringside, was originally a liquor store in the 1950s. The establishment was later transformed into Dino’s Lounge by owner Dean Bartolo in the late 1960s. Situated near the Stratosphere and across from the Peppermint Hippo gentlemen’s club, the bar is one of the oldest in the city.
