Chris Martin joins Stormzy on stage at Glastonbury 2019
Stormzy headlined Glastonbury 2019 last Friday. The English rapper had a big surprise for the audience of the legendary festival. Among other guest appearances, he was joined on stage by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Stormzy gave a sensational performance on the Pyramid Stage. The 25-year-old rapper played an energetic show, including several special guests. He was joined by his fellow English rappers Dave and Fredo for their hit ‘Funky Friday’, as well as Raleigh Ritchie.
However, the biggest highlight of the night was when Coldplay singer Chris Martin came on stage to play a beautiful rendition of ‘Blinded By Your Grace Pt.1’ with Stormzy.
