Which singer joined Beyoncé and Bruno Mars during Coldplay’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show?

The story behind the answer

Chris Martin joined Beyoncé and Bruno Mars during Coldplay’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show.

The performance took place on February 7, 2016, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Coldplay headlined the show, with lead singer Chris Martin performing alongside Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.

The set moved through Coldplay songs including “Viva la Vida,” “Paradise,” and “Adventure of a Lifetime.” Beyoncé performed “Formation,” which had been released shortly before the game, while Bruno Mars returned to “Uptown Funk,” his 2014 collaboration with Mark Ronson.

This appearance is often confused with Beyoncé’s own 2013 Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, where she performed without Coldplay or Bruno Mars. Super Bowl 50 was played between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, with Denver winning 24–10.
