Chris Martin's Secret Delhi Jam. Heartbreak For Those Who Weren't There

New Delhi: Coldplay frontman Chris Martin randomly walked into Delhi's Summer House bar on Wednesday and performed an impromptu set. Just like that.

He really did. His set included Viva La Vida, Paradise and Fix It. Here:
 Vishal was on stage with Chris Martin. It was apparently "More jam, less gig. Chris did all the work, though. People were going apeshit."

Also present - actress Frieda Pinto, musician Ragu Dixit and the guys from comedy collective AIB.

Here, in tweets and Instagram posts, is exactly what went down. There's also a bit of video:

The rest of Delhi, who didn't happen to be partying at Summer House that night, has been left heartbroken and bereft:

Of course Chris Martin had to be in Delhi. Of course, because my life just couldn't get more unfair.

Timelines on Twitter are now filled with pleas to Chris Martin to come play in their city, like this one:
 

Hey Chris Martin, you don't know what you're missing by not performing in Mumbai! (Read: PLEASE COME TO BOMBAY AFTER DELHI PRETTY PLEASE!!)

And also jokes, like this one:
 

That awkward moment in Delhi when Chris Martin is going home and there's a power failure and there are no lights to guide him home.

Chris Martin and Freida Pinto are in India as goodwill ambassadors for the Global Poverty Project.
