Tennis champion Roger Federer joins Coldplay on stage in Zurich

After frontman Chris Martin delivered speech about a fifth Coldplay member who quit after three months to become the greatest tennis player of all time, Roger Federer appeared on stage to play the shaker on “Don’t Panic" which is the opening song of Parachutes – their debut album which was released in 2000, and was produced by the band alongside Ken Nelson.

At one point, Martin paused the performance for Federer to have a solo on the shaker, and he later improvised a line for the song’s outro, singing, “everybody here’s got Roger to lean on.”

“You were flawless on the shaker, Roger. Is there anything you can’t do?!” Coldplay's band account commented on Federer’s Instagram, after he posted about the performance.
