Coldplay frontman Chris Martin startled fans in Melbourne when he accidentally fell through a trapdoor during the band’s “Music of the Spheres” tour.
The incident happened during their fourth and final show in Melbourne, as Martin was reading signs from the audience and took a step back, falling into the open space.
In a viral video of the moment, Martin is seen tumbling backward, but a quick-thinking crew member managed to catch him before he hit the stage floor.
The audience gasped in shock, but the singer quickly recovered, joking that the fall wasn’t part of the performance and expressing gratitude to the crew member who prevented him from getting hurt.
Martin continued the show without showing any signs of injury, much to the audience’s relief. Coldplay’s tour is set to continue in Sydney and Auckland in the coming days, with fans eagerly anticipating the next performances.
Interestingly, Martin isn’t the only performer to have an unexpected fall on stage recently.
Singer Olivia Rodrigo also stumbled through a trapdoor at a Melbourne venue in October, but like Martin, she emerged unscathed and completed her set.
Despite the brief incident, the show went on, leaving Melbourne fans with an unforgettable experience.
