Coldplay welcomed a very surprising guest on stage while performing in Zurich recently. The band, fronted by Chris Martin, has been touring their Music Of The Spheres shows and welcomed tennis champion Roger Federer on stage at the Letzigrund Stadium. The sportsman may not be competing in Wimbledon this year, but Swiss Native Roger looked right at home as he played the shaker to perform the tracks Don't Panic. Chris even described him as the fifth member of the band back in the day.

Performing in Vegas as part of her long-running residency, the Rumour Has It hitmaker addressed recent events by asking the crowd if they've noticed audience members forgetting etiquette at concerts, before joking that she dared anyone in the audience to throw something at her. Adele's comments come soon after Bebe Rexha was assaulted on stage when a phone was thrown at her head, meanwhile, the singer Pink was surprised recently when a fan threw their mother's ashes onto the stage at one show, and another fan gave her a wheel of cheese.

The singer, who has been residing in the UK to film the Wicked movie, shared a video of her singing along to Kylie Minogue's new track Padam Padam on social media, before wishing her fans a Happy Pride and also giving a shout-out to Kylie herself, calling her 'Perfect'. We're just hoping this means collaboration is on the way!

The permission came after his estate battled resistance from local councilors who were concerned that residents in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, would be unhappy with the plans. However, it's now been reported that the family has finally been given the green light, and work on the memorial is due to commence soon. Meanwhile, George's friend and bandmate Andrew Ridgeley, who was a supporter of the memorial, is due to release the new Netflix documentary, Wham!, this week, taking a look back at their hugely successful career. George passed away in 2016 aged 53.
