Chris Martin has left fans perplexed after they spotted a bizarre difference in the star during Coldplay’s epic performance at Glastonbury.
The singer-songwriter, 47, who lives in Malibu, took to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night to headline the iconic festival.
But fans of the musician were confused by his accent, which they said sounded American despite him being from Whitestone, Devon.
Chris first addressed the crowd during an instrumental section during Adventure Of A Lifetime, which is when fans noticed the American twang.
‘OK OK here we go,’ he said. ‘Everybody go low, unless you’re 75. All the way back I see you – lets go.’

The band shocked Glastonbury when actor Michael J. Fox made a surprise appearance during its record-breaking headline set.
The 100,000 strong crowd and BBC viewers were left in tears as the Back To The Future actor, 63, who is battling Parkinson’s, appeared on stage in his wheelchair to play the guitar during Fix You and Humankind.

It was a milestone moment for the band, who made history by becoming the first group to headline Glastonbury five times, with Chris Martin crediting Michael for being the ‘main reason’ they are in a group.
He said: ‘The main reason why we’re in a band is because of watching ‘Back to the Future’, so thank you to our hero forever and one of the most amazing people on Earth, Mr Michael J. Fox. Thank you so much, Michael’.
The British band made their debut at the iconic festival in the New Bands Tent in 1999, before headlining in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016.
After the camera searched the crowd, the frontman serenaded Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis, before the beloved Hollywood actor was revealed to the audience.
Chris sung: ‘Here is another legendary Michael, one who just totally rocks, with his chuck Berry quiff and the way he punched [Back To The Future villain] Biff, ladies and Gentleman please welcome Michael J.Fox’.
The actor, who is an avid musician and famously played the guitar in the iconic 1985 sci-fi movie, was first diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s at just 30 years of age in 1991, before revealing the news publicly in 1998.

Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years, according to the NHS website.
The NHS says there are three major symptoms, including tremors or shaking, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness.
Two years after going public with his diagnosis, Michael created The Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000.
Since then, the foundation – which he founded with his wife of 36 years, Tracy Pollan – has raised over $2 billion for Parkinson’s research.
