Watch Coldplay give ‘The Karate Kid’ its live debut with ‘Daniel Larusso’ Ralph Macchio
Coldplay played ‘The Karate Kid’ live for the first time on Thursday, alongside the star of the 1980s film of the same name, Ralph Macchio.The ‘Moon Music’ track was given its debut at the band’s second show at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on October 31, as the ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour begins its Australia and New Zealand leg.Before beginning the song, frontman Chris Martin joked that he was losing his voice and asked if there was anybody out there that could help him sing the next song. With that, Macchio, who played Daniel LaRusso in the original trilogy of The Karate Kid films in the ‘80s, walked on stage to an ovation from the crowd.As the band started the song, Macchio appeared to sing along, but it soon became clear that he was in fact miming to Martin’s own pre-recorded vocals.
