Gene Wilder passed away on Monday at the age of 83 after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease, and we’re all finding our own ways to mourn.
While for most of us that means marathoning his classic movies, and James Corden remembered the late actor with a touching tribute, Chris Martin and Coldplay found a more artistic way to honor the legendary comedic actor!

The British rock band paid tribute to the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory star by slipping a cover of the song Pure Imagination into their setlist Monday night!

Though we absolutely LOVE the new rendition, there’s just no substitute for the original:
Gene will be missed.
