Coldplay paid a very emotional tribute to Viola Beach at Glastonbury

A great gesture.

Earlier this year, four members of Warrington-based band Viola Beach died after the vehicle that they were travelling through Sweden in careened off a highway bridge into a canal below. The young men, who were embarking on their first international tour, were Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Tomas Lowe and Jack Dakin. Coldplay headlined the Sunday evening of Glastonbury and their singer Chris Martin used the moment to pay a very emotional tribute to these young musicians that sadly passed away. Take a look as Martin says that he wanted to give the band an opportunity to headline Glastonbury, one that was sadly taken away from them. https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/747181953128882176 https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/747182336177934336 https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/747182745734897665 https://twitter.com/Higginbotham05/status/747193020341227524 https://twitter.com/JohnBishop100/status/747186088725319680 https://twitter.com/DiscoMirror/status/747182545134034944 https://twitter.com/CarlMullan/status/747181117531357185 https://twitter.com/tracey_thorn/status/747182419757928448 https://twitter.com/grimmers/status/747182166182858752 https://twitter.com/StigAbell/status/747181519752552450
