‘Holy S**t’: Coldplay Star Chris Martin Falls Through Stage Trap Door

Coldplay singer Chris Martin took a serious tumble on stage during a concert in Melbourne Sunday night when he fell through a trap door. Footage posted to social media shows Martin chatting with the crowd at Marvel Stadium. As he walks backward, events workers below the trap door can be seen attempting to raise their hands to stop Martin’s fall. As the singer continues to talk, he falls into the hole, though his entry does appear to be helped by the workers below. The audience can be heard gasping in shock, though Martin quickly recovers and jumps back on stage. “That’s uh, not planned, thank you for catching me, so much. Thank you guys, holy shit.” According to The Guardian, Martin said afterwards that he had “the jitters,” but carried on. “Yeah I’m OK, thank you,” Martin told a crew member.
