Chvrches‘ Lauren Mayberry joined Coldplay on stage in São Paulo for a performance of the band’s 2019 song ‘Cry Cry Cry’.
The Scottish trio are supporting the Chris Martin-fronted band on their current run of ‘Music Of The Spheres’ stadium shows in São Paulo, Brazil.
During their fourth show at Estádio do Morumbi on March 18, the band invited the Chvrches’ frontwoman on stage for a rendition of ‘Cry Cry Cry’, which appeared on Coldplay’s eighth studio album ‘Everyday Life’.
The original song features Jacob Collier on backing vocals. The English singer-songwriter also contributed to its writing.
