Coldplay paid tribute to Tom Petty at the band’s show in Portland, Oregon on Monday night.

After holding a minute of silence, the band teamed up with REM guitarist Peter Buck to perform a cover of Petty’s “Free Fallin’”.

In a video of the performance shared on Coldplay’s Twitter, the crowd can be heard singing along to the 1989 hit.
