The performance was done via video, however, due to the band being in the middle of a Central America tour.

“I am sorry I cannot be there today,” the video began.

“We are on tour in Central America and there are a lot of background noises, but I feel like that may be OK with him. I think chaos and Shane were good friends,” the musician said in a video message.”

“You may hear a rooster in the distance, which I am thinking of as him! Because he and a rooster shared some qualities,” he added.

The song, which includes the poignant lyrics ‘Look at the stars, look how they shine for you,’ were coupled with a new addition to the song.

“We’re gonna miss you. It’s true, we’re gonna miss you,” Martin sang.

The former cricketer died of a suspected heart attack in Thailand, aged 52 on March 4, 2022.
