LONDON -- It's not every day that you get to see Coldplay's lead singer performing a random jam in a small, ecstatic bar.
On Wednesday night people at the Summer House Cafe in Delhi had that experience, as Chris Martin played a set alongside Playback singer Vishal Dadlani and actress Frieda Pinto (yep that's right, Frieda Pinto was there as well).
This photo of Martin, complete with a gleeful Pinto photobomb, was uploaded to Dadlani's Facebook page.

According to Dadlani's Twitter, Martin and Pinto had been in town to support Global Citizen (an international anti-poverty organsiation, which runs a festival Martin curates). They were having dinner together when Martin said: "let's go play somewhere" - the group then turned up at the Summer House Cafe and played the impromptu gig in front of an excitable Delhi crowd.
Here are some highlights posted on Dadlani's Twitter:

Footage from the gig has also emerged on YouTube.
There are going to be a lot of people who went out in Delhi last now that are now cursing their decision not to go to Summer House Cafe.
