      Major respect for coldplay for doing this in all honesty. Never been a massive fan of coldplay, they didnt have to do this at all but they chose to give the biggest shout out and recognition and tribute anyone could give and for that I have so much respect for them now.

    this is why these guys of Coldplay are big and successful. Humble and kind. I bet Viola Beach are proud wherever they are.

    Say what you will about Coldplay (I will admit to liking a couple of songs) this is probably the nicest and most epic, heart touching tribute to anyone I've ever seen. Even if you're not a fan of all or any of their music they deserve a lot of respect, they really seem like genuinely good people.

      Do people just say something is underrated for the sake of it now? This literally happened a week ago and was uploaded to here 3 days ago. It is in no sense underrated. A great tribute to Viola Beach and a great cover. No one I have met has said its not good nor has anyone I know who was there. So what exactly are you talking about lol

      @JacbeyPortes 8 років тому +10

    I love Coldplay, and I know plenty of people who don't like their music, and that's ok. But I won't have anyone tell me that they aren't great people. Stuff like this, the One Love Manchester concert, refusing to play the Olympics and playing the Paralympics instead is what exemplifies how great they are - above and beyond their music, which I also love.

    As Chris Martin said..before the tragic accident it was more than likely that you'd never heard of Viola Beach..a group of young guys just signed to a record label hoping to make it the music industry. Such a fantastic. poignant moment . And a brilliant song. ..it made me quite emotional I have to admit even for a middle aged oldie like me.

    I remember reading about what happened to them at the time, I then found them again through this song when it was on a playlist a few years later and looked for more of them only to remember what had happened. Props to Coldplay for not only paying tribute to them but also for not just covering the song but for letting Viola Beach to perform on the main stage even if it was only on the screen

    Coldplay you have my utmost respect. The lads would not have believed what you made happen. I just want to say that the people of Warrington salute you. As a town many of us have found it hard to know how to grieve. Many of us knew one or more of the lads + some knew all of them. It was an absolute tragedy. We have to try to make a positive out of a dreadful negative + you have certainly helped do that.

    One of the many reasons this is my favourite band. Such a touching tribute to a band that was taken far too soon. I’m sure they’d be absolutely huge now! What a way to honour them! Coldplay are not only an amazing band but far more than that. They are amazing people too. Just listening to the first 3 seconds of one of their songs picks me up whenever I’m down. They have changed my life and outlook on everything. I look forward to the day I finally get to attend a live show and see the people who bring so much happiness to this world in person. Rest in peace Viola Beach 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

    Coldplay resides in another realm of humankind above everyone else. A most engaging , poigniant and heart-felt tribute to such a wonderful lost talent, Viola Beach are suerly smiling from a sentiment within their alternate abode as Coldplays Chris Martin addresses an emphatic musical contribution for them to sing along yet never ever forget Viola Beach's contribution to their style of music. RIP Viola Beach, bravo Coldplay and Chris Martin 👏🎶👏❤👏

    that was lovely of Coldplay,those lovely young guys had so much talent & on the verge of success :-(
    so so sad what happened to them.
    my Son is a guitarist who has just finished Uni with a top class degree.
    It must be like having your heart crushed losing a Any of your kids,especially when they have grown into very very talented musicians.
    as I think we have all have said before my sincere sympathy goes out to the families, friends and fans of this brilliant band.
    i actually hadn't heard about them until I saw on news about them, but I'm sure everyone would have heard about them as they were on verge of being big,they really were.
    so thanks to Coldplay they played Glastonbury and I hope they were listening up there and proud of the brilliant music they did make r.i.p guys,always remembered xx

    I live not far from Warrington. I was born there as were my kids. My youngest was in a band back in 2014. They had won Band Wars back in 2011.
    In 2014 they were in another Battle Of The Bands in Warrington and were up against Viola Beach. They lost and I knew that Viola Beach would go onto bigger things.
    It was a privilege to have known the guys.
