Chris Martin spotted the youngster struggling to stay upright in the crowd on Thursday night. Footage of the moment Chris saw the concertgoer was shared on TikTok – and went viral – shortly after it happened.
The Coldplay singer motioned to the boy and offered the young fan a safer spot to watch the concert. “You can sit here, you don’t have to squish,” Chris said.
“You don’t have to be crammed in with all these adults,” he added, as the young fan was ushered to a seat next to the stand.
“Sit there my little brother… better? We’ll take care of you mate,’ said the British star before continuing his performance.
“This was the best part of the night,” a Coldplay fan commented under one of the videos released on social media. Another wrote: “I just love him.”
@dailytelegraph Wholesome moment ❤️ Coldplay frontman Chris Martin paused the band’s second Sydney concert midway after he noticed a young boy was being “squeezed” in the crowd and unable to see. Martin asked security guards to lift the boy onto the stage for a better view and continued with the gig. 📹 @rubygxpim via TikTok #coldplay #sydney #chrismartin ♬ original sound – The Daily Telegraph
The concert without Guy Berryman
This happened shortly after the band’s first concert of their Australian tour took a turn for the worse after a band member suffered a health emergency.
Singer Chris Martin has announced that the band will play their first show at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium without bassist Guy Berryman, as he has suddenly fallen ill.
During the concert, Chris stated: “We’re going to have a slightly different concert and we’re going to do everything we can to make it amazing because we’re in Melbourne with all you beautiful people.”
“If you see some mistakes and problems, it’s because we don’t have our bass player. You won’t see Guy tonight because he’s throwing up,” the singer added.
After the concert ended, the band took to Instagram to thank their fans for their understanding.
“Tonight was the first time in our band’s history that we played a concert without all four members on stage. Guy unexpectedly fell ill shortly before the concert. Thank you for supporting us.”
