Dick Van Dyke Appears In Coldplay Video At Nearly 99 Years Old

The family-focused section includes Van Dyke’s four children, Christian, Barry, Stacy and Carrie Beth. At one point, he holds a photograph showing Stacy when she was young. He explains that she appears in his dreams and comforts him there. The moment begins with that specific memory before opening into a larger family gathering. Van Dyke’s grandchildren are among the relatives who join him, and the assembled family members take part in singing and dancing together.

Chris Martin contributes another piece of music during the gathering. With Van Dyke watching, Martin makes up a new song on the spot. The improvisation closes the family sequence with an unforeseen addition rather than another prepared performance of “All My Love.” Van Dyke is delighted as Martin creates the song in front of him. This episode follows the material devoted to Van Dyke’s children, the childhood photograph of Stacy and the arrival of his extended family, including the grandchildren.

“All My Love” was issued as the newest single from Moon Music, Coldplay’s 10th studio album. Its video brings that release together with Van Dyke’s memories and home life: career memorabilia appears alongside dances drawn from his screen history, while his wife, children and grandchildren participate in later scenes. The seven-minute format accommodates his comments on mortality as well as the Bert figure, “The Twizzle,” Martin’s patio performance, the barefoot dance with Silver and the wider family gathering.

A shorter edit of the tribute was announced for December 13, Van Dyke’s 99th birthday. That release plan tied the alternate cut directly to the milestone that the project had been created to mark. It followed the full video’s extended portrait of Van Dyke at home, where recollections of his career and remarks about aging give way to dancing with Silver, time with his children and grandchildren, and Martin’s newly improvised song.
