hi my name is Chris is this on yes it is
um so I'm on my own sort of in the house
where I and I live and I was supposed to
be with the band Coldplay today from
which I come but they are we're stuck in
different countries so we can't play
together so I thought what would be nice
would be to check in with some of you
out there and see how you're doing and
where you are and what I could do for
you I had an idea that we could call
this thing together at home and who
knows maybe tomorrow someone else to
take it over and so I'm here at your
service for the next 20 something
minutes I'm gonna I've never done this
before so I'm a bit nervous I apologize
I'm gonna try and read some comments and
take requests and let me know how you're
doing where you are and what's going on
and first I'd like to thank my stylist
for this incredible look alright

is here
it's strange nobody's really going
anywhere and my kids seem okay and I'm
one up one or two people we know a bit

to be doing is to be staying quiet and
staying at home and not buying too much
toilet paper

little-known version I got it just tune

Oh
I can sing that Lonoke this early
Oh greener I still have a singing
teacher who I love very much
and she says I wish you'd sing less
first of all but I wish I wish he'd seem
low and I try but the thing is when we
do a concert I think I get so excited
and I try and get those low notes and
they just come out as up okay Center I
thought about I don't know how to press
I don't want to press any buttons in

brassia 1/2 avocado argentina well I
don't like good alone with flags a bit
bad Mexico [Â __Â ] okay [Â __Â ] I can't
really play on the whole thing because
it requires Johnny willin guy look well
my whole life requires John you're
willing guy training
[Music]
[Music]
warning sign but what I cannot read the
name of who you asked for that it's too
rude Switzerland I think that flag is
hot huh
I'm Scotland our brothers boy everyone's
our brothers isn't that how do you think
do you agree with me I think so feel
like we're all one family
okay thank you um I'll be honest with
you that there's a person in the room
over there called Bill who maybe if
you've been to any of our concerts
you've seen he's so talented and he
helps me sound less [Â __Â ] so I wanna say
thank you Bill and he what he just did
was he'd already worked out what the
chilling was because lots of our guitar
songs
um I use weird chains because when I was
about 15 I realized that was never going
to be particularly virtuoso at anything
maybe the way to do things was just to
make them a weird up and up yeah I
thought I Sephora I thought about that
song last night maybe in anticipation of
arts called away
[Music]
for a while
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
thanks for asking for that on a lot
burned up blue hearts where's the
auto-tune great question I tried a full
or thirteen song last week at work and I
thought it was great but everyone turned
their noses up at it um and Oh John
Legend is here well that's funny you say
that yes uh-huh
don't pan of a single request thank you
for saying that your voice is sweet well
this is the thing about the internet you
get one message from one person then the
other from know that it's very hard to
be a pop star you don't know who hates
you and who loves you that's to just get
on with being a human and accept that no
one agrees on anything anymore why they
never did to be quite frank um Vera
brought us so that's true brought us the
parabola I'm trying to learn Spanish for
many years now and it goes terribly
wrong the other day I sent a message to
my friend I said I have some things on
my mind but it's important not to worry
but in fact I said it's importante no
penguin part of me which means it's
important not to ask me so I thought why
are they not asking anyway
best band ever well thanks for referring
to whatever other band you and I've
gonna stop this humble stuff um okay
there's a Mexico I wanna say Portugal
send the kiss John drops okay John
I've sent focuses please yell okay is
that like some amazing Inuit spelling of
our song yellow let me uh well to do a
bit on piano yeah I think everyone's
praying for Italy everyone is praying
for everyone I hope okay I can't keep up
with this this is what I'd be like if I
worked in a hotel except people would
want more like
earth kiss is just a kiss a smile is
just a smile the fundamental things as
time that kind of thing for city this is
this is twenty years old now this song
may be older than some of you watching
or listening or whatever um how they
shine for you and all the things
they were all yellow I came along wrote
a song for you all the things he could
[Music]
and it was all yellow
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
and okay cool
[Music]
let me teach you how to play life on
Mars by David boy the story is that he
was going to do a version of my way for
Frank Sinatra to sing but they chose
some one of the lyrics were originally
in French and the publishing company
whoever went with someone else's music
and not David Bowie's and so he said
well I'm gonna write my own my way and
that's how you can hear like a little
bit of my way in in the life on Mars
[Music]
so sorry what's the first time in my
life when once it's a god-awful small
affair it's too early to say fired in
our Chicago Sweet Home Chicago I love
Chicago I love every repla but I do love
Chicago

from Mary Ralph's seven hey Megan hope
you're OK
wherever you are I hope you've got
enough stuff and Columbia Oh in Contra
Costa Rica Iran all right
Chile where now looks like I'm just
reading our names of countries us
against the world
yeah this is I'm gonna take my sweater
off on like you sweaty so I think but
lucky you can't smell on Instagram
now I know what it feels like to be on
um The Bachelor big brother or one of
those things where they're filming you
all the time love Ireland I never got
asked on that us against the world
yeah but there's a we never quite finish
this one but we finished it now so at
some point we'll release it on a thing
ups paladin ominous I'm not here to
promote anything so I'm trying not to do
that
[Music]
the strikes
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay 10 ticks that's a lot of ticks
someone please name of the song what
does that mean um I wonder how long the
delay is between me playing it and you
seeing it it's first day the 9th of
September 2006 here I don't know how
long
no job but I wonder what song is saying
UFO I definitely can't remember that and
and there's another song called UFO
which isn't out either um sorry dad
oh yeah okay maybe I'll finish on that
one that's my favorite song to play at
the moment it's really it's sort of
called fly on and sort of caught oh and
I didn't it's funny this day and age
when you don't really know who's
listening to what we're and you said
when you're on tour which I hope we will
be one day
[Music]
anja fish on that any minute first let
me tell you some things um so this idea
was we started having on Friday for a
thing called together at home and
thought wouldn't it be nice to have it
be something that maybe I'll do one day
and then someone else do the next day
and then funnily enough the very next
day um man called Hugh Evans and his
incredible partner in crime not crying
about his incredible partner in
philanthropy um Katie they called and
said hey that a net from global citizen
which somebody may know they said we've
been talking to the World Health
Organization and the amazing and
incredible dr. Ted Ross respect to him
and much love and they said why don't we
link it all up together so as we're
coming to the end of this broadcast
you'll be pleased to know um I'd love to
say that if you have any questions or
you're worried do we don't know how to
help or you don't know what to do you
don't know which news is real which is
not real then maybe go to global citizen
org I'm gonna write it down and forward
slash coronavirus which I hope I can
spell as I definitely can't spell
Massachusetts global citizen and I love
Massachusetts one of those one of the
things that's a terrible global citizen
dot org forward slash corona virus here
that is the thing I hope that's all
correct
anyways so they've got lots of answers
for all of us who are like what the [Â __Â ]
