When Newstalk ZB host Matt Heath reviewed Coldplay’s first Eden Park show on radio show The Mike Hosking Breakfast , he had no idea Chris Martin himself could have been tuning in. Speaking to listeners on Newstalk ZB today, where he co-hosts The Hour with Tyler Adams, Heath revealed how his recap of the band’s opening-night show resulted in him being invited to go backstage ahead of their final concert . He attended the first show on Wednesday, November 13 and shared his thoughts on air the next morning.
“Chris Martin heard the review, so he got management to reach out to me,” he told listeners. “Through a series of people, they tracked me down and invited me along to the show on Saturday, and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s very, very nice of them’. I thought I was just going along to the show to see it with free tickets .
.. and then found out that we had friends and family invites.
