At a Coldplay concert in Sydney, Australia on Sunday, Nov. 10, frontman Chris Martin was perplexed when a fan asked if he could play Scott's Utopia hit "FE!N," which has become a meme among concert goers ala Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird." Scott has been known to perform the raucous song upwards of 10 times in a row.
"What does that mean?" Martin, 47, asked in fan-captured footage. "I'm under pressure. I can't remember the whole Travis Scott catalog right now."

Coldplay performing in Rome, Italy on July 12, 2024After racking his brain, Martin remembered his favorite Scott song: "Goosebumps" from 2016's Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. The band found a way to work the song into "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" from 2002's A Rush of Blood to the Head.
Scott reacted to the footage on X, writing, "This got it" with a goat emoji, signaling that the band is one of the "Greatest of All Time."

Scott, 33, is a documented Coldplay fan, shouting them out on songs such as "TIL FURTHER NOTICE" and "way back." In a 2012 interview with Complex, the Texas rapper named some of his more surprising influences.
"I also like Little Dragon, Portishead, and Björk. Them n----s is ill. I like The Fray and Gym Class Heroes, that s--- was fresh. Coldplay, their melodies was ill... I feel like Coldplay has the craziest, aired-out choruses, but the music was too happy," he said.
As for Martin, he is no stranger to the hip-hop world. The singer has previously collaborated with JAY-Z, Kanye West and Big Sean.

Martin sat down with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in September to reveal the future of Coldplay. He shared that the band only has two "proper albums" left before they call it quits. The band's tenth album, Moon Music, was released in October.
"It's really important that we have that limit," he asserted. "There's only 12 and a half Beatles albums. There's about the same Bob Marley, so all of our heroes. and also having that limit means that the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it's almost impossible, which is great."
