Coldplay dedicates song to Houston, vows to never perform it again

Coldplay is sending love to Houston through the power of music.

At a Miami show on Monday, the band took time to honor those who've been impacted by the tragic flooding and devastation caused by Tropical Storm Harvey by performing a new song, which they've vowed to never play again.

"This is because we all grew up loving country music, and of course that’s kind of what we think of when we go to Texas," frontman Chris Martin said before introducing the song called "Houston #1."

Martin, who had to postpone a show in Houston last week due to the weather, then went on to sing the opening lyrics: "I’m dreamin’ of when I get back to Houston, I’m dreamin’ of that very special place. I’m dreamin’ of when Houston has no problems, in that city where they send you into space."

Keep on keepin' on, Houston.
