Chris Martin of Coldplay sparked concerns among fans after falling through a stage trapdoor during the British rock band’s concert in Melbourne, Australia.
Martin was interacting with fans on the fourth day of Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” show at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, when he accidentally walked backward through a trap door mid-concert, as seen in footage captured by fans on social media.
The singer was immediately caught by a staff member after the fall, which led to Martin saying: “That’s uh… thank you for catching me. So much. Thank you guys, holy sh*t.”
Thank god Chris Martin from @coldplay is okay after he fell through the trap door on the stage 🙏 #ColdplayMelbourne #MusicOfTheSpheres

Despite the incident, Coldplay took to Instagram on Sunday, November 3 to thank their fans who attended their concert.
“Show #167, Melbourne,” the post read.
Martin’s fall came weeks after singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo fell through a trap door mid-concert during her “Guts” concert in Melbourne last October, but in another venue.
The fall didn’t seem to faze the “Vampire” singer as she immediately got back up, while saying, “Ohmigod, that was fun! I’m okay. Sometimes, there’s just a hole in the stage.
Coldplay is set to visit the Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia for a four-night concert from November 6 to 10. The band previously visited the Philippines in January 2024.
