Fans gasped as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin collapsed through an open hatch on stage in Australia. Martin got up and continued the show.

“It’s not, uh, planned,” Martin said, praising the crew. “Thank you for catching me. Thank you guys.”

Martin then made light of the moment, saying: “Holy… It was almost a YouTube moment.”

The moment happened during Coldplay’s fourth and final concert of their ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour’ stop in Melbourne.

The British group continue the Australian leg of their world tour later this week, heading to Sydney for a four-night run on November 6, 7, 9 and 10.
