Coldplay brought to an end their trio of free shows with a star-studded performance at Madison Square Garden in New York last night (June 23rd).
The concert, which followed free shows in London and Barcelona, saw the band perform songs from their number one album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends'.
Despite a number of technical difficulties, which included Chris Martin stopping one song because his ear piece fell out, the band delivered a powerful set.
As with the band's previous shows, Martin was on jovial form throughout the concert, joking at one point about the bands chart success in America, where they currently hold the number one spot on the singles countdown with the album's title track.
“Somehow this made it to No. 1 in your country," Martin told the crowd.
"It just goes to show you what good marketing and a handsome bass player can do."
Coldplay's set was watched by a number of celebrities, including Molly Sims and Helana Christensen.
