In a video circulating on social media, Coldplay’s Chris Martin invited a Pakistani fan on stage during a concert. He also won hearts for acknowledging tragedies around the world and dedicating the following song to all those affected by them.
“You have traveled 10,000 kilometers,” he acknowledged, addressing the fan. “I traveled from Los Angeles yesterday and when I left, everything was on fire and it was very strange. So maybe we could sing this song for your brothers and sisters in Pakistan and our brothers and sisters in Iran, the West Bank, and Gaza.”
Additionally, he shared that he would also dedicate the song to his friend Zeppelin, adding that the song is about missing someone you care about. “This is Everglow. This is for you, Kinza. Thank you for coming,” he said, receiving one last applause for the speech before beginning his performance.
Earlier, Martin also had a crossover moment when he read a fan’s poster, which contained Diljit Dosanjh’s iconic words, “Punjabi aa gaye oye.” (The Punjabis have arrived). The clip was shared by user Dosanjh on Instagram Stories with the caption: “Chris Martin reading Coldplay fan signs and flags is so wholesome.”
The spirit of the concert was high for the band, who lit up the stage in Abu Dhabi. “You are a sky full of stars, Abu Dhabi. Thank you for another beautiful night,” the band wrote on Instagram Stories.
Under a magical carousel of photos from the show, fans were amazed by another dazzling performance from the musical group. Love flooded the comments section, as did melancholy. “Those images make me remember what it feels like. Coldplay is an extra sensory experience. We wish to have them again in my country,” confided a fan.
“My loves, what a magnificent sight! You are always wonderful and bring us joy and love. I love you,” another fan gushed. Recalling the show, one user sweetly recalled, “It was an amazing and unforgettable experience.” Others thanked the band for making their concert dreams come true, noting how charming their stage performances are.
“Thank you Coldplay… your music, values, love, acceptance, humility, talent and being the voice we need to hear most in this world of chaos is widely appreciated around the world,” one fan said touchingly. Additionally, passionate requests filled the comments section, pleading for the band to visit other countries and cities. The echoes of “London”, “Brazil” and “Mexico” stood out against many others.
