Coldplay Honors Gene Wilder
At their Denver concert, Coldplay decided to pay tribute to the late Gene Wilder by covering Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’s “Pure Imagination.”
In the film, the song is heard when the ticket winners first enter the beloved chocolate factory. Take a listen to Gene Wilder singing here.
