Mumbai: Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin ended the Global Citizen Festival India concert on a high note by singing "Vande Mataram" with the music maestro AR Rahman on Saturday evening.

The world-famous band performed for over an hour at the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai. The singer is in the country as part of the Global Citizen India initiative 2016.

During his performance, Mr Martin said to the gathering, "Hamari khushkismati hai ke hum itne khoobsurat desh mein aaye hain (We are lucky that we have come to such a beautiful country)."
