Coldplay‘s Chris Martin covered Spice Girls’ ‘2 Become 1’ with Mel C at a charity concert in LA last night (October 23).

The band performed at Audacy’s We Can Survive show at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday night, which was held in honour of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the US.

The sixth annual concert was held in collaboration with Young Survival Coalition and also featured appearances from the likes of Black Eyed Peas, Doja Cat, Shawn Mendes and The Kid Laroi.

Towards the end of the band’s set, Martin performed an acoustic cover of the 1996 track with member Mel C. Introduced the singer on stage, Martin said: “She arrived! Please welcome from England and Great Britain and the Spice Girls, Melanie Chisholm – aka Mel C, aka Sporty Spice, aka a total legend.

? That just happened! @MelanieCmusic takes the stage with @coldplay singing a @spicegirls song! #2Become1

The show also saw the British band play songs from their new album ‘Music Of The Spheres’, including ‘Human Heart’ with We Are KING. Martin also dedicated ‘Yellow’ to Riley Keough’s brother, Benjamin.

Keough shared fan-shot footage of Coldplay playing the song on her Instagram page earlier today (October 23). During the track, Martin said: “This is for our friend Benjamin, who’s… Benjamin’s gone. Wherever you are right now, we’re sending this song all the way to you.”
