“You can send to families of people who have gone through terrible things. You can send to Charlie Kirk’s family,” Chris Martin said in a presentation in London
THE Coldplay It seems not to be able to escape controversy lately, even when it tries to preach love for all mankind. In July 2025, there was the controversy of “Kiss Cam” on the big screen, which caught a technology CEO allegedly cheating on his wife with his human resource chief. Now, the band faces criticism for telling fans that they can “send love anywhere”, including to the family of Charlie Kirkthe right -wing and ally activist of Donald Trump shot dead last Wednesday, 10 and political polarization continues to increase after the death of Kirk.
In recorded images of the band’s show in Wembley Stadiumin London, on Friday, 12, the vocalist Chris Martin He asked fans to send a little love to the world before they played “Fix you”.
“Last time in London, let’s get our hands like this and send love anywhere you want in the world,” he said from the stage, raising his hands up (something the band has done throughout the recent tour). “There are so many places that you may need this today. So here you go, from London. You can send to your brother or sister. You can send to the families of people who have gone through terrible things. You can send to the family of Charlie Kirk. You can send it to any family. You can even send to people you disagree with, but you send love anyway. ”
Send love to people, places and, in general, to the universe is something that combines with the identity of Coldplay. In the cover report of the Rolling Stone December 2024, Martin Said: “This is really our mission now: we are consciously trying to lift the flag of love as an approach to all things. There are not many [grupos] who have the opportunity to defend this philosophy to so many people. So we do that. And I also need to hear that, not to give up and end up getting bitter, distorted, hidden, hating everyone. I don’t want to do that, but it’s so tempting. ”
(Speaking of being within your own identity, the night before, the country singer Gavin Adcock – that has been fighting with Charley Crockett About “authenticity” in country music – unsurprisingly, he pulled a choir in honor of Charlie Kirk in your show, as reported by FOX NEWS.)
Kirkapparently, was not a fan of Coldplayas revealed in a video in which he commented on the Kiss Cam episode in July. If you have been offline during the several days when the story went viral: the CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byronand the company’s Human Resources head, Kristin Cabotthey were caught in a romance atmosphere on the screen of the Coldplaywhich ended up exposing the apparent extramarital affair of the two. When they realized they were being filmed in an intimate hug, they bent down and hid. Martin So he played the stage (which was not a joke): “Either they are having an affair, or they are just very shy.”
In the video in which he commented on the episode of Kiss Cam, Kirk said: “I would rather be caught dead to be in a show of Coldplay. I would rather go to a game from WNBA [Women’s National Basketball Association] than a show of Coldplay. I can’t imagine something more boring, banal and waste of time. ”
