Coldplay surprised their audience at Croke Park by inviting an on-stage performance of the Irish band Aslan. They wanted to memorialize Aslan’s main singer, Christy Dignam, who died last year from cancer.
Lead vocalist Chris Martin of Coldplay welcomed Aslan and together they sang “Crazy World,” one of Aslan’s most beloved tunes. Over eighty,000 people in the audience joined in, producing a moving and impactful event.
On social media, fans uploaded recordings of the concert to pay a lovely tribute to Christy. One admirer said, “Hearing 82,000 people sing ‘Crazy World’ together was fantastic. Christys, rest in peace.
Aslan keeps performing with its February band member Lee Tomkins, a new singer. This honour demonstrated the close connection between the two bands and their regard for Christy.
The concert by Coldplay at Croke Park was remarkable, full of poignant events and musical notes. The particular honour of Christy Dignam affected the attendees of the concert.
