Singer-songwriter Chris Martin, co-founder of the rock band Coldplay, fell through a trap door while performing in Australia, according to People.
As the band wrapped up their fourth concert at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, Martin was sharing stories from their international Music of the Spheres World Tour when he unexpectedly fell through an open trap door.
A fan captured the incident on video, posting on X, formerly Twitter, “The moment Chris Martin fell through a trap door right in front of me at the #Coldplay concert tonight.”
Martin quickly reacted to the fall, telling the audience, “That’s not planned!” He jokingly added, “Holy…, that was nearly a YouTube moment!” as reported by People magazine.
Coldplay’s extensive international tour began in March 2022 and is set to end in September 2025, with a 10-day series of shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. After their concert in Melbourne, Martin and the band members—guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion—will head to Sydney to finish their Australian tour before traveling to New Zealand.
The band is also preparing to release new music. In June, they launched their 10th studio album, Moon Music, along with the single “feelslikeimfallinginlove.”
