In typical Beck fashion, Beck was performing at a museum garden party in L.A., backed by a band of Indian classical musicians.
Doesn’t get much more offbeat and “Beck” than that does it? But wait! Look who he brought out on stage for a hand with “Loser” and “Nobody’s Fault But My Own”–it’s Chris Martin from Coldplay! Check out some crowd-captured video of the performances below, via the Twitter feed of Chris Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter.
“He’s fresh off regional tour of Cats,” jokes Beck welcoming surprise guest Chris Martin to stage “to sing some harmonies” @ #HammerGala in front of honorees Jordan Peele, Judy Chicago, guests JJ Abrams, Tom Ford (and Dakota Johnson on side of stage). pic.twitter.com/2yttqwOkEV

For final song of night, @beck and a seated Chris Martin (with five also sitting musicians) collab on Beck’s 1994 “Loser,” and lyric I really heard was “forces of evil in a bozo nightmare.” #HammerGala pic.twitter.com/GsjeGNuJUb
