Coldplay's NPR Tiny Desk Concert is here, and sees Chris Martin and guitarist Jonny Buckland cover Prince's "1999" with a choir.
Matin and Buckland brought a nine-piece choir to accompany them during their five-song performance, which opens with Everyday Life track "Cry Cry Cry".
They go on to perform "Viva La Vida", "Broken", "Champion Of The World", and a energetic cover of Prince's "1999".
Coldplay released their eighth studio LP Everyday Life in November last year.
Last year Coldplay revealed they're taking a break from touring to find ways to make it environmentally "sustainable" and "actively beneficial".
