Shocking moment at a concert
Coldplay: Chris Martin crashes into stage opening in Melbourne
It was only in October that Olivia Rodrigo fell into a hole on the stage during a performance in Melbourne – now Coldplay star Chris Martin was hit. Both were uninjured, but the pictures are frightening.
Shock for Coldplay fans in Melbourne: Frontman Chris Martin fell into an opening in the stage at a concert in the Australian metropolis. Videos circulating on the Internet show the 47-year-old walking backwards over a side walkway on Sunday evening to announce the hit “Everglow” and then suddenly falling into a hole – a kind of trap door with a staircase.
To the relief of the fans, Martin was caught by someone in the opening and apparently survived the fall uninjured. When he stood again, he said, “That wasn’t planned!” and added, looking at his rescuer: “Thank you for catching me.” The British rock-pop band Coldplay then continued the sold-out concert at Marvel Stadium.
It was the last of four concerts in Melbourne. Coldplay (“Something Just Like This”) will be playing in Sydney from Wednesday before heading to New Zealand. The world tour ends next August and September with numerous concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Similar fall from Olivia Rodrigo
Just a few weeks ago, US singer Olivia Rodrigo also fell into an opening on stage in Melbourne. At her show she ran across the stage and suddenly disappeared into the opening.
“Oh, my God! That was funny. I’m fine,” she said afterwards, laughing. “Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage.” She later said on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that the incident was still scary, especially when she watched the video. “But the show must go on, this is showbiz baby!” she added.
