Chris Martin has garnered backlash from some fans after he halted his concert at Wembley Stadium to send love to Charlie Kirk’s family.
The 48-year-old Coldplay singer – whose band is ‘set to make history with record-breaking 225-date world tour’ – encouraged fans to raise their hands for the late political activist during the group’s final tour concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday.
Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday when he was fatally shot in the neck while speaking to students at Utah Valley University.
In a now-viral clip on X, Martin could be seen addressing the crowd of 80,000 people and said, ‘For the final time in a few years in London let’s raise our hands like this and send love anywhere you wanna send it in the world.’
The Viva La Vida hitmaker then placed his hands into the air, with most of the audience doing the same.
‘And there are so many places that might need it today. So, here it comes from London. You can send this to your brother or sister, you can send it to the families of people who’ve been going through terrible stuff. You can send it to Charlie Kirk’s family.’
