Chris Martin, the charismatic lead singer of Coldplay, attempted to create a memorable moment with fans during a recent performance, but things didn’t go quite as planned. During the band’s electrifying concert on July 15 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, he found himself in an amusing situation when a couple in the audience unexpectedly shied away from the jumbotron.

As captured in various videos that quickly made their way across social media platforms, the startled couple was caught off guard and instinctively broke their embrace, ducking out of the camera’s view. In a lighthearted moment, Chris humorously commented, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy,” but he quickly realized the potential awkwardness of his joke. “Oh s–t, I hope we didn’t do something bad,” he added, showcasing his genuine concern for the couple’s feelings.

At 48 years old, Chris Martin continues to entertain audiences with his quick wit and charm. Later in the show, he found himself in another playful situation when the camera focused on another couple. With a cheeky grin, he asked, “Are you two a legitimate couple?” revealing his knack for engaging with fans and creating a lively atmosphere during his performances.

This wasn’t the first time Chris experienced a hiccup during his Music of the Spheres World Tour. Just a week prior, on July 8 in Toronto, he missed his cue and stumbled over the lyrics of his beloved hit “A Sky Full of Stars,” reminding fans that even seasoned performers have their off moments.
