Overview
- The Coldplay frontman appeared on December 13 at Blithfield Lakeside Barns in Rugeley, performing on piano for the newlyweds’ first dance.
- Venue co-owner Alex Brown said Martin requested no introduction and quietly walked in wearing a beanie to play “All My Love.”
- The couple knew in advance, but the plan was kept from guests, and many only realized it was Martin at the end of the song.
- The newlyweds, identified as Mr. and Mrs. Hotchkiss, thanked Martin in a statement to ITV News Central and said they were “forever grateful.”
- Brown praised the gesture as wonderful for the couple and noted it boosted the venue’s profile, and PerthNow reported Martin hugged the pair after the performance.
