Coldplay frontman Chris Martin played tribute to the late Leonard Cohen this week (November 11), taking to the stage at the band's gig to perform his own rendition of Cohen track 'Suzanne'.

The song was performed as part of the band's encore as they took to the stage one final time at the London Palladium, with Martin singing the track solo at his piano before saying he was "sending my love to Mr. Leonard Cohen for those amazing songs, you changed my life".

Cohen passed away on Monday, November 7, and Rolling Stone learned from Cohen's son Adam that he died peacefully in his home "with the knowledge that he had completed what he felt was one of his greatest records. He was writing up until his last moments with his unique brand of humour."

Legions of musicians and fans have been paying tribute to Cohen over the past week, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noting "Canada and the world will miss him", whilst Lily Allen thanked him and tweeted "Rest In Peace".
