Monday, November 4, 2024Â – Coldplay frontman Chris Martin
gave fans in Melbourne a scare after he accidentally fell through a trapdoor on
stage during the band’s “Music of the Spheres” tour. The mishap
occurred during their fourth and final Melbourne show when Martin, reading
signs held by fans in the crowd, took a step back and plunged into the open
space.
In a viral video of the incident, Martin is seen falling
backward, but he was fortunately caught by a quick-thinking crew member before
hitting the stage floor. The audience gasped in surprise, but the singer
bounced back quickly, jokingly assuring fans that the fall wasn’t part of the
show and thanking the crew member who saved him from injury.
Martin continued with the performance without any sign of
injury, much to the relief of the crowd. Coldplay’s tour moves on to Sydney and
Auckland in the coming days, with fans eagerly awaiting the next shows.
Interestingly, Martin isn’t the only star to take an
unexpected fall on stage in recent weeks. Singer Olivia Rodrigo also stumbled
through a trapdoor at a Melbourne arena in October, though she, too, escaped
unscathed and completed her performance.
Despite the brief mishap, the show went on, and Coldplay
left Melbourne fans with an unforgettable night.
