Chris Martin moved an audience to tears in New York this week, after dedicating Coldplay's track Fix You to Mick Jagger.

Martin, who was performing with his band at the Beacon Theatre in the Big Apple on Monday (May 5), gave a shout out to the Rolling Stones rocker following the death of his girlfriend, L'Wren Scott.

Before launching into the emotional song, Chris - who recently split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow - stated: "It's for Mick Jagger."

The Coldplay frontman's tribute came after Jagger said a final goodbye to Scott after she committed suicide in March.

He was on hand to perform Bob Dylan's Just Like A Woman at a special memorial service for the fashion designer on May 2.

Coldplay's new album Ghost Stories is due for release on May 19.
