Coldplay have shared the official music video for ‘The Karate Kid’.

The track is taken from the expanded Full Moon Edition of the band’s No. 1 album ‘Moon Music’.

The music video, directed by Chris Candy, was filmed in Melbourne during the band’s record-breaking Australia/New Zealand tour leg and stars actor Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai).

The band reached out to Ralph after he called ‘The Karate Kid’ “a beautiful track” on social media following its October release.

Ralph Macchio said: “When Chris Martin pops up on your FaceTime asking you to help create a video to accompany what I found to be a beautifully emotional and poignant song – one inspired by a film I made over 40 years ago – there was only one answer. Having the opportunity to join Coldplay in Australia at one of their legendary live shows to collaborate on this music video was nothing short of a career highlight. The synergy with Chris, the band and our director Chris Candy was as pure as any I’ve experienced. I’m excited to share this with the world.”

Last month, ‘Moon Music’ topped album charts worldwide, including the US, where it became Coldplay’s fifth US No. 1 album (more than any other UK solo act or group this century) and in the UK, where it outsold the rest of the Top 40 combined.

Since kicking off in March 2022, the band’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour has sold over 12 million tickets across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, making it the all-time highest attended tour by a group.
