Here’s Will Ferrell performing a cowbell duet with Chris Martin

He had a fever, and the only prescription was more cowbell...

This weekend saw Will Ferrell and his cowbell join Coldplay‘s Chris Martin for a performance at a benefit concert. See footage below.

Held at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater, Martin and Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith were among the stars came out for the Cancer For College benefit, “Will Ferrell’s Best Night Of Your Life”.

During the show, Ferrell referenced his now-legendary SNL ‘More Cowbell’ sketch, when he ran on stage to lend his cowbell skills to the Coldplay single ‘Viva La Vida’.

The evening also saw Ferrell do a sketch where he twerked as Donald Trump (in disguise as George W. Bush), perform interviews in the style of Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy, as well as reuniting with lookalike Chad Smith to perform with their Super Mega Funktastic Jam Rock All-Stars supergroup – featuring Martin, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Josh Klinghoffer, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan, Dave Matthews Band’s Stefan Lessard, and Brad Paisley.
