Chris Martin knows how to make a quick recovery. The Coldplay frontman, 47, fell through a trapdoor in the stage while performing during the final Melbourne, Australia date of the band's Music of the Spheres tour on Sunday, November 3. Martin was taking a moment to read some of the fan signs in the audience as he stepped backwards, slipping into a hole in the stage.
He was shouting out a fan sign that read, "Please sing 'Everglow' for my dad in heaven," just prior to his fall, which saw many in the sold-out Marvel Stadium gasp and cry, "Whoa!" Thankfully, there was a production guy beneath the stage who was able to help lessen the impact of the fall, while also helping him up. "The moment Chris Martin fell through a trapdoor right in front of me at the #Coldplay concert tonight," a fan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter ) alongside a video that captured the shocking moment. "That's, uh, not planned," Martin assured fans, before thanking the production person for catching him.
To his credit, he popped back up quickly, before exclaiming, "Holy s**t," and joking, "That was nearly a YouTube moment." A fan could be heard in the video quipping, "I think it was!" After joking with the crowd, Martin quickly continued on with the show. The fall came less than a month after Olivia Rodrigo took a jarring tumble through the stage during her Guts show in Melbourne — though her fall was at the Rod Laver Arena.
