Coldplay have shared a wholesome new music video for the single ‘All My Love’, starring acting legend Dick Van Dyke.
The band previously debuted the song during a concert in Athens, and later frontman Chris Martin was spotted in Las Vegas singing the track at a karaoke bar while donning a thinly veiled disguise.
It later turned out that the undercover antics were actually the filming of a music video, which arrived in the start of October, and the song was shared as part of their latest album ‘Moon Music’.
Now, a new version of the music video has been unveiled, celebrating the Hollywood icon Dick Van Dyke.
Arriving today (December 6) as a special, extended Directors’ Cut video, the video was co-directed by award-winning directors Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, and looks to celebrate the life and career of the Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star ahead of his 99th birthday.
It was shot at Van Dyke’s home in Malibu and features the performer ruminating about age, family and love. A shorter variation will be shared next Friday (December 13) to mark his birthday. Check out the latest version below.
‘All My Love’ is a Lennon-esque piano ballad that sees Martin deal in sincerities. “You’ve got all my love/Whether it rains or pours, I’m all yours/You’ve got all my love/Whether it rains, it remains/You’ve got all my love,” he croons on the chorus.
The band also performed a moving rendition of it on SNL back in October.
The singer would also speak to NME in his only written interview for the album, and reveal that ‘All My Love’, would be the band’s final single. “That’s the last ‘single’ single. We have the musical thing, then an album just called ‘Coldplay’, which is the final one. I think that will be a year late – I know it will be,” he said.
The comments came as Martin weighed up the future of Coldplay, and said that the band had an end in sight when it came to writing and releasing new music in the conventional setting.
“Right now, and since about 2008, if something lands in me as a song or as a good idea and it feels authentic, we’ll do it. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks,” the frontman told us, recalling where the band are now. He also described ‘Moon Music’ as being “the story of waking up in the morning and feeling terrible about yourself,” before “a journey to feeling the complete opposite at the end of the day.”
As for whether the band are still planning on ending their catalogue after 12 albums, Martin shared: “The 12 album thing is very real, and it’s a nice feeling. It doesn’t mean we won’t tour or finish some compilation things or outtakes or whatever. It just means that the main story is told. That’s just what feels really right. Just knowing that’s happening supercharges all the work we’re doing now.”
Later in the discussion, he revealed that the deadline has led to the members having “more hunger” in their approach, and determined to make sure they don’t “dilute” anything they put forward. He also reassured fans that by the time the 12th album is complete, “everything will make sense” in terms of Coldplay’s story.

‘Moon Music’ was given a glowing four-star review by NME, and described by Rhian Daly as a record that looks to “pull Martin and those feeling like him back from the brink, one pop song at a time”.
“It’s not just in Coldplay’s lyrics that this resilience can be felt, but in their musical choices too. Multiple songs on ‘Moon Music’ – like ‘Jupiter’ and ‘Good Feelings’ – fade out, only to return to the speakers again,” it read. “These fake-outs don’t just keep you guessing but mirror that feeling of having exhausted all your options, only for you to find the strength to push forward.”
To celebrate the release, the band announced details of a tour, with UK shows including stops in London and Hull. 10 per cent of the band’s proceeds from the shows will also be donated to the Music Venue Trust – helping to keep UK grassroots music venues open and fighting for the survival and development of upcoming artists.
It’s an example of a ticket levy also recently practised by Enter Shikari and Sam Fender, which has since been backed by the UK government.
Also in 2025, Coldplay will head over to North America for 10 new gigs in the US and Canada, as well as embark on shows in Ahmedabad, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Seoul and Mumbai. Visit here for UK tickets and here for international tickets.
The tour will see them continue their devotion to crafting a more sustainable way of playing live shows. Earlier this year, the members shared an update on the sustainability initiatives they had been implementing on their ‘Music Of The Spheres’ tour. They said the tour had generated 59 per cent less CO2 emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016 and 2017, beating their own target of 50 per cent.
It has also been revealed that 7million trees have been planted globally thanks to the success of the live shows. This comes as a result of the band promising to have one tree planted for every person who attends the tour.
