One minute Chris Martin held the key, next, the stage walls were closed on him.
Indeed, Coldplay’s lead singer had an unexpected fall during the band’s concert at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia Nov. 3.
As Chris—who is currently engaged to Dakota Johnson and shares kids Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, with ex Gwyneth Paltrow—addressed the crowd between songs in a video shared to X, formerly Twitter, he began to walk backward before plunging into a trap door on the stage.
“That was uh, not planned,” he tells the crowd as he is lifted back up by stage hands. “Thank you so much for catching me. So much. Holy s--t. That was nearly a YouTube moment.”
The band—which also consists of Phil Harvey, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman, who did not perform at the Nov. 3 show due to illness—is currently amid their Music of the Spheres tour and will go on to play Accor Stadium in Sydney on Nov. 6.
Chris’ mishap is only the latest gaffe to take place during a Melbourne concert. After all, Olivia Rodrigo recently had a similar incident occur during her show at Rod Laver Arena in the same city.
Olivia’s fall happened as she hyped up the crowd early on in her Oct. 14 concert in the city, also unexpectedly falling through a hole as she ran from one side of the stage to another.
“Oh my God, that was fun,” Olivia joked after recovering from her fall. “I’m okay! Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage. That’s alright.”
The 21-year-old continued the show as planned, and even went on to make a lighthearted video of the experience on her TikTok, following a trend on the app and captioning a video of her falling as, “#subtleforeshadowing.”
Later, Olivia detailed the aftermath, admitting it was a bit more intense than she led on while performing.
“It was really scary,” she admitted to Jimmy Fallon during an Oct. 29 appearance on The Tonight Show. “I mean watching the video back it’s pretty terrifying, but the show must go on, that’s show business baby.”
The “bad idea right?” singer even noted that there was an unexpected silver lining of the whole ordeal.
“I’m kinda happy it happened in hindsight,” she added. “I went to the hospital after—nothing happened, they just wanted to make sure I didn’t have a concussion—and randomly the nurse was a Filipino man with the same name as my grandpa who just passed away a few months ago. So, I was like, ‘Wow that was him looking after me and making sure I didn’t get hurt.’ And so I was really happy it happened, I think it was beautiful.”
