is no exception to stage falls, as the frontman at a concert over the weekend.
Martin, 47, spoke to the crowd in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday while walking backward on stage, seeming not to notice a trapdoor was open. Some people in the crowd appeared to wave their hands to try and get the singer’s attention to no avail, with the crowd gasping as he fell.
Crew members inside the trapdoor partially caught Martin, who was not seriously hurt and walked up the other side of the door, thanking the crew before telling the crowd with a laugh that the fall was “not planned.”
USA TODAY has reached out to the band’s reps for comment.
Coldplay is currently on their long-running “” World Tour, which began in Costa Rica in 2022 and is currently touring Australia and New Zealand before shows in Abu Dhabi in 2025.

The “Birds of a Feather” singer shared a video on her Instagram story last month that showed her falling on a set of stairs during a recent concert at as part of her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, giving her a nasty bruise on her thigh.

In June, McKellen, 85, fell off the stage during a production of “Player Kings,” an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Henry IV.” Months later, he revealed he was wearing a neck brace and a splint on his right hand as a result of the fall.
“I’ve relived that fall I don’t know how many times. It was horrible,” McKellen told Saga Magazine. “My chipped vertebrae and fractured wrist are not yet mended. I don’t go out because I get nervous in case someone bangs into me, and I’ve got agonizing pains in my shoulders to do with my whole frame having been jolted.”
And it could be something in the water in Australia, as Rodrigo took a tumble onstage while on her in Melbourne last month, though the incidents did not take place at the same venue.
As seen in , the “Obsessed” singer was running back and forth when she fell through a trapdoor on the stage. Without missing a beat, Rodrigo reassured concertgoers she wasn’t hurt. “Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage,” she said. “That’s all right.”
