Coldplay performed their new single, “Christmas Lights” with a little help from Take That’s Gary Barlow, live at the Liverpool Royal Court earlier this week.
The show was a fundraiser for charity, Crisis, a shelter for the homeless in Liverpool.
It’s the first time “Christmas Lights” has ever been performed on stage, and was the big finale of an amazing show which raised £250,000.

Here is the brand new single from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ host Alesha Dixon. The ballad is called ‘To Love Again’ and is co-written by Take That’s, Gary Barlow.
We hear that Alesha Dixon, The Neptunes and Keri Hilson have collaborated on a track and that it’s a sure fire HIT!
Keri Hilson penned the track and The Neptunes produced it. The new track is for the ‘Alesha Show’ which is being re packaged with three new singles. This yet to be titled track could possibly be the single for the re release and be accompanied with a video.
Alesha Dixon is currently in LA recording new material with various producers and artists including UK’s Gary Barlow who she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with last year for charity.
The Last time we saw Nerd and Alesha Dixon collaborate was for the video of ‘She Want’s to Move’ Where Alesha Dixon played Pharrell’s leading lady.
