Coldplay brought surprise guest Steve Coogan on stage in character as Alan Partridge to perform a cover of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' at Wembley.
Ever thought to yourself that you wish that Steve Coogan's classic character Alan Partridge would sing with Coldplay during their shows at Wembley? Well, you're in luck! Yes, that very specific and niche wish became a reality when Coogan took to the stage with the band and frontman Chris Martin took to the background to let Partridge shine as he performed a cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" as well as giving ABBA their time with "Knowing Me, Knowing...
Coldplay posted the video to their Instagram account, writing "Thank you, Alan Partridge, for giving us a huge Wembley singalong #RunningUpThatHill #ColdplayWembley" and it features Coogan in character complaining about how the song's meaning and asking everyone to think about it with him. “Because it can’t just be about running?” he asked.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Alan Partridge was a fictional sportscaster made from the BBC 4 radio show called On the Hour who then went on to star in his own series of shows such as I'm Alan Partridge, This Time with Alan Partridge, Alan Partridge's Mid Morning Matters, and many others. The character was created by both Coogan and Armando Iannucci and has become synonymous with Coogan in a lot of ways.
To Martin's credit as well, he did let Coogan shine as Alan Partridge and even played along with Coogan was asking him on stage about the meaning of Bush's song — which has recently skyrocketed back into popularity once again thanks to Stranger Things 4 — and Martin replied that he thought the song might be about "overcoming problems," an explanation Partridge seems to appreciate.
Coldplay has brought out a number of fun guests throughout their shows and having Coogan out for this fun guest appearance at their penultimate show at the venue is nothing short of amazing. Check out clips of the two covers at the show down below.
