The promotional push for Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, will kick into high gear tonight when the British quartet makes an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. The band is likely to play their dramatic new single "Paradise," but who knows, there could be other surprises. Like, what if Chris Martin duets with his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow? That'd be something, right?

Coldplay - Late Show with David Letterman, CBS 11:35 p.m.

Kelly Clarkson - Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC 11:35 p.m.

Gavin DeGraw - Jimmy Kimmel Live, ABC 12:00 a.m.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
