Coldplay Pay Tribute To Amy Winehouse With 'Rehab' Cover

Coldplay covered Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" in tribute to the singer during an appearance at Splendour In The Grass festival in Australia.

Frontman Chris Martin played the song's chorus ahead of Coldplay's own song, "Fix You".

The group, who headlined the festival, also paid tribute to Winehouse in a statement on their website.

"There’s little that can be said about Amy Winehouse’s passing that hasn’t already been said," they said. "It’s just such a sad waste. We’ll leave aside the awful irony and just let the Aussie choir sing."

Coldplay's performance at Splendour In The Grass on Sunday (July 31) also saw Martin lead fans in a birthday sing-a-long for drummer Will Champion, who was celebrating his 33rd birthday.

Winehouse died last month at the age of 27.

anything that's manufactered by the coldplay factory becomes dull and lifeless

I wonder if he repeated the same lines purposely or because they were the only lines he knew

Ministry did this cover before she died, it was better than both the original and this (especially this) COLDPLAY IS FOR PUSSIES!!!!!

First thing I thought was "Puke sounding like shit."

Ironic how hes singing Rehab considering how annoyingly straight-edge Chris Martin is
