Coldplay's shock health emergency derails Melbourne show in 'first time in band's history'

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for music and human connections, I must say that the recent turn of events surrounding Coldplay’s Australian tour is both heartbreaking and inspiring. On one hand, it’s disheartening to see a beloved band member like Guy Berryman struck down by illness, altering the course of their first show in Melbourne. However, on the other hand, the resilience displayed by Chris Martin and the rest of Coldplay is truly commendable.


On Wednesday evening, the initial performance of Coldplay’s Australian stadium tour encountered an unexpected setback as one band member experienced a sudden health issue.

For the first time in their careers, lead vocalist Chris Martin disclosed that the band will perform their inaugural concert at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, excluding bassist Guy Berryman who is currently unwell.

At the performance, Chris, who is 47 years old, stated: “Tonight’s show will be a bit unique, and we promise to put forth our utmost effort to ensure it’s extraordinary. We’re here in Melbourne, surrounded by all of you wonderful folks.

The singer explained that since our bassist isn’t here, there might be some issues with the performance. Unfortunately, you won’t be seeing Guy tonight as he’s been sick and vomiting.

On Instagram following the Wednesday evening performance, the group expressed gratitude to their supporters for their understanding.

Tonight marked an unprecedented moment in our band’s journey, as not all four of us were able to perform live due to an unforeseen illness that struck Guy right before the show. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who stepped up and helped us get through this challenging situation.

Whether Berryman will return to the stage for tonight’s sold-out Melbourne show remains uncertain.

As a die-hard Coldplay fan, I can hardly contain my excitement as their epic four-night run at Marvel Stadium rolls on! This weekend, it’s all about the shows on Saturday and Sunday, before the band jets off to Sydney for another round of four sold-out performances at Accor Stadium. I can barely wait!

Coldplay's shock health emergency derails Melbourne show in 'first time in band's history'

On Monday, Australian musician Gordi moved Chris Martin (lead singer of Coldplay) to tears at the Bakehouse Studios in Melbourne during a special event.

31-year-old artist Sophie Payten, who goes by the stage name mentioned that the popular pop-rock musician shed tears upon listening to her latest release titled “Lunch at Dune”.

The day following the event, Gordi posted on Instagram to share the surprising instance, disclosing that the artist behind “Fix You” had expressed such songs merit to be played.

Gordi expressed, “I began to play the song, and at that point in the second verse, I found myself thinking, ‘Goodness gracious, what’s happening here? Composure, I’m with Chris Martin!’

As I shut my eyes, I immerse myself in the feelings evoked by the melody. Suddenly, it seems like just moments have passed, and the tune has ended. I blink open my eyes, find myself gazing at Chris Martin, and to my surprise, he’s shedding tears, with moisture trickling down his cheeks.

He complimented the song greatly, telling me it was beautiful and suggesting that tunes similar to it should be shared widely.

Oh man, it was an absolutely breathtaking, unforgettable instant that left me utterly spellbound. I still can’t fathom how nobody managed to capture that magical scene on video!

This week, the multitalented individual, who is both an artist and a doctor, received an invitation to attend a clandestine meeting with several other regional artists, where they would all get together to meet Chris.

Pop artist-composer Kian and the indie rock band Radio Free Alice were some of those extended invitations. Notably, Gordi received a personal invitation directly from Chris.

According to Gordi, it seems that Chris Martin enjoys connecting with local artists when he travels to different nations. Indeed, what a remarkable individual, for who wouldn’t find that task tedious during their tours.

She went on to say Chris asked the musicians he invited if ‘there’s an artist in the room named Gordi’, prompting her to put her hand up.

In response, Gordi shared, “Chris Martin commented on my music, saying it was incredibly beautiful. I replied, ‘Thanks, Chris Martin.’
