Coldplay debuts new song, ‘Everyday Life,’ on ‘SNL’

To promote their upcoming album, Everyday Life, the four-piece rock outfit played the title track live in its worldwide premiere.

The Yellow rockers were introduced backstage by host Kristen Stewart before performing a heavily choreographed rendition of one of their latest singles, Orphans.

Everyday Life, however, came as a surprise to dedicated fans, as it had not yet been released, heard or even hinted at.

The stripped-back, emotion-fuelled ballad featured frontman Chris Martin on the piano. He was backed by the rest of the seven-time Grammy Award-winning band.
