During the London Music Festival, Federer performed with Coldplay, which showed the diversity of his talent. While his performance was short, it was memorable for him and his fans. Now, back in the Laver Cup as an attendee, Federer revealed why he stepped up to the stage to perform with the band. As per the 20-time grand slam champion, the reason for his participation was his daughter.?

Chris Martin invited him to the performance right after he attended the concert of Elton John. He then turned to his daughter as he pondered accepting the invitation.

I looked at my daughter, and I told her and ‘Do you think I should go up on the stage and do this?’. She was halfway falling asleep after the Elton John concert, and she’s like, ‘Of course, papa. You only live once. Of course, you gotta do it.’ I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll go on stage, I’ll do it’. Of course, I enjoyed it after, but I don’t need sometimes those anxiety moments anymore.”??

Federer gave everyone a memorable night as his surprising talent grasped the attention of everyone in the arena.
