Chris covers Adele’s breakup song
Coldplay performed in Germany this week as part of their tour and stopped in Munich.

To return the favor, Chris decided to cover an Adele song during her performance – but the song he chose caused a stir.
The band chose Adele’s stunning “Someone Like You” – an emotional breakup song about an ex who has moved on.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find someone like you. I wish you all the best too,” the lyrics say.
The song choice raised suspicions that something was wrong in his relationship, just hours before news of their split broke.
