According to Page Six, on Thursday night philanthropist Jamie Tisch texted Chris Martin when her surprise musical performer 'mysteriously dropped out' of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation event.
The singer reportedly ran to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in jeans and a T-shirt, where he took to a grand piano to play songs by Prince, Wham!, Leonard Cohen and David Bowie.
The father-of-two also covered Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go as a George Michael tribute.

While Martin - who is Gwyneth Paltrow's ex, having been married for over a decade - performed on the piano, honorary chair and actor Tom Hanks jokingly passed around a tip jar, offering it to Martin and quipping that it had raised $70,000.
'Normally, I play here every Thursday,' the singer joked while sitting on the piano onstage, where he stayed throughout the dinner to play.
A source for the publication reported: 'He was having fun pretending he was a lounge singer.'
