Coldplay's Chris Martin saves young fan after scary incident
A fan was saved by Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin during their latest show on the Music of the Spheres Tour in Sydney, Australia.
Videos have surfaced on social media of the moment. Martin stopped a song to make sure a young fan was okay after seeing him being pushed around and "squeezed." He offered him a seat to avoid such contact with others and also a pair of headphones.
"You can sit right here, man, you don't have to be squeezed," Martin said. "Can we get some headphones for him? Then you don't have to be squished by all these adults."
He also offered him a Coke, the drink, to be clear, before resuming the show. It was a sweet moment between Martin and the fan that he will never forget.
The rest of the show seemingly went normal. The band played their biggest hits and some new songs from Moon Music, their latest album.
Martin's heroics are very reminiscent of U2 singer Bono . In the past, Bono has saved fans in the crowd. The band's Live Aid performance in 1985 is one of the most famous examples of this.
