Seated at the piano for a three-song encore, Martin delivered the prophetic line with a hushed voice: "They tried to make me go to rehab and I said no, no, no..." (see video below). The Winehouse moment preceded Coldplay's hit "Fix You," an appropriate preamble considering frontman Martin sings of emotional wounds that feel impossible to heal in the song, which was originally written for his wife Gwyneth Paltrow after the death of her father Bruce in 2002. "Fix You" was followed by the band's latest single, "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" and capped off the 90-minute show, which debuted several new Coldplay songs including, "Major Minus," "Hurts Like Heaven" and "Charlie Brown." The set also featured some of the band's biggest hits including "Yellow," "In My Place," "Clocks" and "Viva La Vida." Streamers and confetti accented the more high-energy moments as did Kimmel himself, who joked upon taking the stage, "Boy, there are a lot of white people here -- it's unnerving." Martin remarked earlier in the evening that it had been two years since his band last played in L.A. Of Coldplay's new material, he challenged fans to blog about whether they liked the songs or not.
