“We did a movie for this tune a short while ago, and we experienced the terrific honor of obtaining the astounding actor Cate Blanchett join us in that video clip. With out more ado, Cate Blanchett!”

At the end of the amount, Blanchett took a deep bow as the viewers erupted in cheers and applause.

The track is the title observe of Sparks’ 25th studio album, which came out in May possibly.
Blanchett’s shock appearance was between quite a few buzzy moments to come out of Glastonbury this weekend.
