Coldplay's Chris Martin Takes A Tumble Mid-Concert But Laughs It Off With Fans

By -

Coldplay's charismatic frontman, Chris Martin, took an unexpected fall during a performance in Australia, only to emerge from a stage pit seemingly unscathed. The mishap occurred during a show at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on Sunday, when Martin, while addressing the crowd between songs, suddenly vanished from sight as he stepped into an open area of the stage.

A video shared on social media captures the dramatic moment as Martin drops from view, only to quickly pop back up, thanks to someone below breaking his fall. Laughing off the incident, Martin joked with fans, saying, “That’s, uh, not planned. Thank you for catching me, so much. Thank you, guys.” He then quipped, “Holy sh*t, that was nearly a YouTube moment,” before resuming the performance with his usual energy.

The concert marked the final of Coldplay’s four Melbourne gigs for their *Music of the Spheres* world tour. The first show in the city had its own surprise when bassist Guy Berryman was forced to sit out due to a sudden illness. "Tonight was the first time in our band’s history that we’ve played a show without all four members onstage," Coldplay shared on Instagram. "Guy was taken ill unexpectedly just before the show. Thank you for carrying us through it."

Next up, Coldplay will play four shows in Sydney before heading to Auckland, New Zealand. The tour will wrap up with an impressive 10-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium starting August 22 next year.

Interestingly, Martin's tumble wasn’t the only stage mishap in Melbourne this season; pop star Olivia Rodrigo had a similar incident recently at the Rod Laver Arena. Rodrigo, running across the stage under a spotlight, also took a sudden drop into a hole, though she managed to catch herself with her arms.

For fans, both incidents proved that even the pros aren’t immune to the occasional onstage surprise!

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

"Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
