Coldplay frontman Chris Martin suffered a dramatic fall during a show in Australia, but emerged unharmed through a hole in the stage.
Video of the incident posted on social media showed Martin walking around and addressing the crowd during a song break at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Sunday, before suddenly disappearing from view.
His fall appears to be stopped by someone standing below the stage, and Martin quickly returns to a standing position.

“That wasn’t planned. Thank you so much for catching me. Thanks guys,” Martin said.
“Oh my gosh, that was almost a YouTube moment,” he added.
Martin then continued with the show, which was Coldplay’s fourth and final show in Melbourne as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour.
The band’s first show in the city also took an unfortunate turn when bassist Guy Berryman was absent due to illness.
“Tonight was the first time in the band’s history that we performed a show without all four members on stage,” Coldplay said in an Instagram post.
“Guy unexpectedly fell ill right before the show. Thank you for getting us through.”
The band will next play four shows in Sydney before moving to Auckland, New Zealand.
The tour will end on August 22nd next year with 10 shows at Wembley Stadium in London.
Martin’s accident comes after a similar incident involving singer Olivia Rodrigo at a recent show at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.
The American pop star was running around a stage lit only by spotlights when she suddenly fell into a hole and appeared to use her arms to catch herself.
