The singer discusses Coldplay’s collaboration with BTS for their song “My Universe” and how he really didn’t think it would work when the idea of a collaboration was first mentioned to him.

Martin also reveals that one of Coldplay’s final three albums will be a musical, before sitting in the hot seat to answer some of DeGeneres’ “Burning Questions.”
Additionally, Coldplay takes the stage to present a special version of “My Universe.”
