Chris Martin praised for 'incredible' invite he gave Ukrainian singer he met in street

Chris Martin has been praised as a "legend" after surprising a Ukrainian singer performing near his show.

Romario Punch was left stunned after he was approached by the songwriter while he was singing in the street.

But the musician had another surprise in store, as the Coldplay frontman invited him to come along to the band's concert and join him onstage.

In what many fans are calling the highlight of the night, the band and their new friend then gave a "moving" performance during Coldplay's first show in Poland in several years.

Singer Romario captured the "amazing" moment he met the singer on camera, in a video that has racked up two million views in the day since it was posted.
