Coldplay did a video with Dick Van Dyke for his 99th birthday on 12/13/24, showcasing some of Dick Van Dyke's iconic moments on film, along with his family.

At the end of the video, Chris Martin composes an impromptu song about old age.

Seems a little premature to be celebrating. He's still got 4 days to go till he's 99. At that age can he really be sure he'll make it for four more days? Can any of us?

When I was posting the thread, I was acutely aware that there was almost a week to go, and wouldn't it be tragic if he died before his birthday?

But then I thought, it's still a beautiful testament to a life.

It didn't really have to be about his birthday. It was just a collaboration, and 100 would have been more amazing. But I think it's a nice reminder to celebrate the now.

This is really nice. They lived close to each other. I really like cold play.
