Last updated 25th Aug 2022
Coldplay are currently on their 'Music of The Spheres' world tour, and half way through their six dates at Wembley. Last night, on their third Wembley date, the band were joined on stage by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia.
Performing with Natalie her huge hit 'Torn', the band also paid tribute to Olivia Newton-John, who sadly passed away last week.
Joined on stage by British musician Jacob Collier, the artists sang 'Summer Nights', with Natalie singing Sandy's part, played by Olivia in the film, and Chris Martin singing Danny's part, the role played by John Travolta, with Jacob Collier joining him during the chorus.
The fantastic performance was captured on video by a fan, who has posted it to YouTube, and you can watch it below.
Back in 1978, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta starred in the hit musical film Grease, which was of course full of iconic songs, such as 'You're The One That I Want', 'Grease Lightnin' and 'Summer Nights'.
While on tour, Coldplay have been surprising fans with special guests, which have included Kylie Minogue in New Jersey, and Craig David last weekend in Wembley.
Meanwhile, Natalie Imbruglia has recently appeared in the last ever episode of Neighbours, where she reprised her role of Beth Brennan, 28 years after she left the series.
