In a video circulating on social media, Coldplay’s Chris Martin invited a Pakistani fan on stage during a concert. He also won hearts by acknowledging tragedies across the world and dedicating the next song to all those affected by them.
“You have traveled 10,000 kilometers,” he admitted, addressing the supporter. “I traveled yesterday from Los Angeles and as I was leaving everything was on fire and it was a very strange thing. So maybe we could sing this song for your brothers and sisters in Pakistan and our brothers and sisters in Iran, West Bank, and Gaza.”
He further shared that he will also dedicate the song to his friend Zeppelin, adding that the track is about missing someone dear to you. “This is Everglow. This is for you, Kinza. Thanks for coming,” he expressed, receiving one final round of applause for his speech before beginning his performance.
