Coldplay have been playing a blinder night after night in Croke Park.
They have been making sure to pay tribute to the incredible musicians in Ireland.
They previously paid tribute to Sinéad O’Connor and Shane MacGowan.
On Sunday night, they invited Aslan up on stage to play a beautiful tribute to Christy Dignam.
Aslan frontman Christy passed away in June last year at the age of 63 from cancer.
He was first diagnosed in March of 2013 with both amyloidosis, which is when amyloid proteins build up in the body’s organs, and myeloma, a cancer that attacks plasma cells in the bone marrow.
Chris Martin introduced Aslan onto the stage towards the end of the concert on Sunday.
The two bands performed a heartfelt version of Aslan’s biggest hit Crazy World to over 80,000 people in Croke Park.

It really was an emotional moment as the iconic song rang out throughout the GAA grounds.
Aslan have continued to perform following Christy’s passing with Lee Tomkins joining the group as the new singer in February.
Fans took to social media to share the emotional video of the performance.
