Making for another action-packed night of television, "American Idol" held its Top 5 Elimination episode on Thursday (May 3).

The hit Fox competition series brought viewers not one, but two guest performances with both Coldplay and Carrie Underwood taking the stage during the course of the show.

Heading out after revving up the program's last show of the week, birthday boy Chris Martin was spotted leaving the "Good Morning America" studios in New York City earlier today (March 2).

Clad in a black jacket, casual t-shirt, black pants and matching sneakers, the "Viva La Vida" singer generously signed autographs for awaiting fans before slipping into an awaiting vehicle outside.

Getting the audience pumped for the 2012 Brit Awards, Coldplay performed as the show’s opening act at the O2 Arena in London, England on Tuesday (February 21).

The British rockers took the stage as the crowd cheered out in excitement, with the quartet of Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion performing their hit song “Charlie Brown,” the third single from their fifth studio album Mylo Xyloto.
