To mark Dick Van Dyke’s 99th birthday on December 13, 2024, Coldplay has released a special, shortened version of their music video for “All My Love,” featuring exclusive footage not included in the original Directors’ Cut. This new edition offers fans additional glimpses of the Hollywood icon, celebrating both his legendary career and the band’s heartfelt tribute.
The video was filmed at Van Dyke’s Malibu home and features the star, famous for his roles in Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, reflecting on his extraordinary life. Through a series of clips showing him singing and dancing to the track, Van Dyke connects with viewers while reminiscing about his time in the spotlight. The video also includes rare photos, memorabilia, and even some re-creations of his iconic dance moves, solidifying his status as a global entertainment legend.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Van Dyke recently appeared together on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to celebrate the release of the video. During the show, Van Dyke expressed his admiration for the song, calling it “beautiful,” while also humorously noting that Martin pushed him to try things he didn’t think he could do.
The Directors’ Cut, co-directed by acclaimed filmmakers Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, received widespread praise for its emotional impact. The video, described by Entertainment Weekly as “monumental” and by American Songwriter as “heartwarmingly inspiring,” has touched fans worldwide.
Van Dyke’s illustrious career spans over seven decades, earning him numerous accolades, including five Emmys, a Tony, a Grammy, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His influence has shaped generations, with millions of fans across the globe continuing to admire his work.
Meanwhile, Coldplay’s latest album, Moon Music, continues to make waves, debuting at No. 1 on charts around the world, including the U.S., where it marked the band’s fifth No. 1 album. The band’s ongoing Music of The Spheres World Tour has sold over 12 million tickets globally and is currently the highest-attended tour ever by a group. Additionally, Coldplay has reduced CO2 emissions from their tour by 59%, surpassing their original environmental target. Over 9 million trees have been planted as part of their sustainability efforts, with more planned before the year’s end.
The limited edition red 7-inch vinyl of “All My Love” is now available for pre-order, with proceeds supporting Coldplay’s ongoing commitment to environmental initiatives.
