Brooke Warne reveals how she’s coping two years on from the death of her father Shane Warne – and if she caught up with his best mate Chris Martin during Coldplay’s Aussie tour
As a devoted follower of the Warne family, I have had the privilege of witnessing their resilience and strength in the face of adversity. Two years ago, we lost an irreplaceable figure – Shane Warne, a man whose impact on cricket and our hearts was immeasurable. Yet, despite this immense loss, Brooke and her family continue to carry on with grace and fortitude.
On Tuesday, Brooke Warne shared insights into the ways she and her family have adapted following the passing of her father, renowned cricketer Shane Warne, about two years ago.
On March 4, 2022, the renowned sports figure tragically passed away at the age of 52 in Thailand, suspected to be from a heart attack. He leaves behind his children Brooke (age 27), Jackson (age 25), and Summer (age 22), whom he shared with his former spouse Simone Callahan.
She shared with Daily Mail Australia at the Melbourne Cup event held at Flemington Racecourse that her family and she are managing well, several years after the passing of their father.
Things are going well for us, we’re strong as a family unit, and we have an excellent network of support… And I’m fortunate to have had a loving partner, Alex Heath, by my side for five years, who was there with me at the races.” (Referring to her companion Alex Heath)
As a tribute to my beloved late father, I will proudly be cheering for horse ‘Warnie’ during the 5:15 pm race at this year’s Melbourne Cup.
Additionally, Brooke expressed her joy for her ‘amazing’ partner who she has been with for a long time, and she believes that Shane would have been ‘extremely happy’ with the way their relationship has progressed.
On the occasion of the Melbourne Cup, the duo presented an exquisite sight, with Brooke elegantly wearing a breathtaking red gown designed by Effie Kats and complementing footwear from Lana Wilkinson.
I enhanced my appearance by carrying my mother’s Burberry handbag, and then neatly tied back my blonde hair with a vibrant red headband.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend Alex dressed ‘head-to-toe’ in Zara with R.M.Williams boots.
Brooke beamed as she introduced her partner, Alex, explaining that he had chosen his own outfit for the day,” or simply, “Brooke was pleased to show off her partner, Alex, who dressed himself today.
Additionally, Brooke shared with Daily Mail Australia that she met up with her father’s close friend Chris Martin during his band Coldplay’s tour in Australia.
‘We had a lovely time with Chris. It was fantastic,’ she said of his most recent visit after attending one of the UK rocker’s concerts at Marvel Stadium last Wednesday.
During the concert, Coldplay paid tribute to cricket player Shane, while it was a packed house with Brooke and her sibling Jackson. In fact, Chris Martin dedicated their popular song “Sparks” to the deceased legspin bowler.
Over time, Chris and Shane became very good friends due to their mutual passion for sports and music.
Shane frequently attended Coldplay’s concerts, and Chris Martin openly recognized their friendship, characterizing Shane as a friendly, helpful companion in public.
Beyond merely attending gatherings together, their bond went deeper. In fact, Chris paid an emotional tribute to Shane after his sudden demise in 2022.
Last week, Chris suggested, as his band started playing Sparks, that we should entertain Shane and his family with it.
Dearest sibling, it’s been a while since we last connected, and we truly feel your absence. Whenever we visit Melbourne, memories of our enjoyable times spent with Shane and the entire Warne clan come flooding back. It was always such a pleasure to be in your company.
‘I don’t want to talk about it too much or I’ll start to cry.’
Later, at the Brit-rocker’s second gig in Melbourne, Chris made another touching gesture.
Towards the conclusion of the performance, once the band acknowledged their fans and the singer finished speaking, he unveiled a jersey of the Melbourne Stars, bearing Shane’s well-known number 23. He then displayed it to the audience before placing it on his microphone stand.
It was heartwarming to witness Chris Martin wearing the Stars jersey as a tribute to his dear friend, Shane Warne, last night,” the Melbourne Stars shared on platform X.
Back in 2011, I was beyond ecstatic when Shane stepped onto the field with our Stars during the debut season of the Big Bash League! His expertise and charisma were a game-changer for our team, making every match an unforgettable experience.
For two seasons, he performed with the Stars, offering his skills both as a bowler and a guide. In 2013, he decided to hang up his gloves across all playing formats.
It is not the first time that Coldplay and Chris have honoured the Aussie cricket hero.
At the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 2022, Chris performed the popular song “Yellow” by the band, as a tribute to the cricketer.
Additionally, he performed an original composition penned by himself during his tour in Australia, a piece he specifically dedicated to Shane.
