Chris Martin had an unplanned moment on stage when he unexpectedly took a tumble during Coldplay’s concert in Melbourne, Australia. Performing at Marvel Stadium on Sunday, November 3, the frontman was speaking to the audience between songs when, in a video shared on social media, he can be seen walking backward—right into an open trap door on stage.
After his sudden drop, Chris was quickly helped back onto the stage by the crew. His reaction to the moment was as casual and cool as ever. “That was, uh, not planned,” he told the crowd, looking slightly shaken but smiling as he steadied himself. Grateful for the quick assist, he joked, “Thank you so much for catching me. So much. Holy s–t. That was nearly a YouTube moment.”
Coldplay fans couldn’t get enough of the unexpected slip, with many praising Chris for how he handled it. The video spread quickly on social media, and fans were quick to comment on both his surprise and his humor in the situation.
The band is currently on their Music of the Spheres world tour, which has seen them deliver epic performances filled with dazzling light shows, elaborate visuals, and their signature high-energy style. Chris’s fall added a touch of unpredictability to the Melbourne show, showing once again that anything can happen during live performances.
Coldplay’s tour continues in Australia, with the next stop scheduled at Accor Stadium in Sydney. Fans are looking forward to more memorable moments from the band—hopefully with no more surprise falls for Chris!
