Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams to include Obama singing Amazing Grace
Clip sampled from Obama's eulogy for Charleston shooting victim
"We have a tiny clip of the President singing Amazing Grace," Martin told British paper The Sun.
A sample of Obama singing the hymn is included in the track Kaleidoscope.
The excerpt stems from the eulogy Obama gave for Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney – one of the nine victims shot and killed at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church – in June. The White House and the historic downtown Charleston church granted the U.K. band permission to include the audio clip.
Obama, who has included Coldplay songs on personal music playlists he's shared publicly, isn't the only amateur singer featured on the album. The release will also feature contributions from Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, the couple's children Apple and Moses Martin, and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay Z.
