The main vocalist of the British rock band Coldplay, Chris Martin, stopped the concert, in the middle of his presentation after detecting a fanatic in trouble in the crowd at the Narendra Modi stadium, Ahmedabad, on Sunday (January 26). Martin had just started the interpretation of his popular song “My Universe” when he saw the fan in trouble and asked his bandmates to cut the music.
Then, he quickly hurried to the stage, pointing to a section on the right. “Wait, wait. Hey, are you okay? Can you put it there to be safe, please? Martin said.
“You feel here, because you are crushing. Or simply sit there. That’s safer.”
After guaranteeing the security of the fanatic, Martin gave the sign to restart the song: “My universe again, please. I’m sorry. What are you staying there, you are safe now. It’s fine, let’s go from the beginning. Please, make sure that you are “taking care of each other is very important.”

Internet reacts
When the video of the incident went viral, the users of social networks praised Martin for being a good Samaritan and taking care of their fans despite acting for more than two hours.
“Reason 62728951 Why I love Chris Martin,” said one user, while another added: “This only puts it on a level so higher than most artists.”

Kind as always. 🥹 https://t.co/cgpcibdVW0
