Global rock band Coldplay, which is set to perform in India next year, is currently in Australia as a part of their 'Music of the Spheres World Tour'. On Sunday, the band's lead singer Chris Martin narrowly escaped injury after he fell on stage during their show at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.
Several videos have surfaced on social media that show Chris Martin falling inside a trap door on the stage. However, a person standing down there was ready to get a hold of the singer. Chris saved himself from getting hurt and said, "That wasn't planned. Thank you for catching me so much. Thank you guys, holy s''', that was a YouTube moment."
