At Coldplay’s final show in Melbourne, Australia, lead singer Chris Martin shocked fans by accidentally falling through an open trap door on stage. The unexpected incident happened at Marvel Stadium while Martin was interacting with the crowd. As he walked backward, he suddenly fell into the trap door. Videos of the fall spread quickly on social media, showing the audience’s shocked reaction as someone nearby reached out to help him.
Once back on his feet, Martin laughed off the moment with his usual humour. Into the microphone, he joked, “That wasn’t planned. Thank you for catching me so much. Thank you guys, holy s***, that was a YouTube moment!” His relaxed response helped everyone laugh along, easing any worries. This wasn’t the first stage mishap in Melbourne – just a month earlier, singer Olivia Rodrigo also took a tumble into a stage opening during her own show.
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, which started in 2022 has been a big success. After Melbourne, Coldplay’s Chris Martin and the band will perform in Sydney before heading to New Zealand. The tour will also reach India in January for three big shows in Mumbai. The band plans to finish the tour in September 2025 with a final 10-day run at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Though the fall was surprising, Martin’s humour and positive spirit kept the crowd smiling, reminding fans why Coldplay’s Chris Martin remains so loved and down-to-earth.
