Coldplay dedicated a song to Australian singer Angus Stone during their second show at Sydney's Allianz Stadium - even though the band have no idea who he is.
Singer Chris Martin said the idea came from a fan who levelled his ego after Coldplay's run of stadium dates made him
feel like "the best thing since sliced bread."
"This kid came up to me and said 'you guys are good but not as good as Angus Stone'," Martin told Sunday's sell-out crowd.
"I said I don't know who that is and now I have to check it out but I'd like to dedicate this song to Angus Stone who brought me back down to earth today."
Martin should have no problem accessing the ARIA-winning singer's back catalogue considering Coldplay and Stone share the same label, EMI.
