Coldplay & RHCP pay tribute to MCA

At a Friday night concert at the Hollywood Bowl, Coldplay paid tribute to late Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch, who'd died the same day of cancer at the age of 47. Frontman Chris Martin sang a piano version of the Beasties' best-known hit, "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)," adding the extra line, "And so we're sending all our love to the Beastie Boys" at the end. Amazingly, he made it sound just like a Coldplay song. Meanwhile, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month alongside The Beastie Boys, also remembered their late, longtime friend at their Friday show in Newark, New Jersey. Billboard reports that lead singer Anthony Keidis took the stage wearing an "MCA" t-shirt, and told the crowd, "We lost a good man today. He left the world a lot of beauty. I hope you carry that flame. Adam was for real." LINK During the show, the Chili Peppers performed instrumental versions of two Beastie Boys songs: 1992's "Gratitude" and "What'cha Want." When the group left the stage after the show, "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right" came over the PA system, and the exiting fans sang along.
