@ChillamChilli also weighed in, writing: ‘So Coldplay’s Chris Martin, a British Citizen in his concert, accepted that the British did wrong in India for 2 centuries. All his tickets were sold, he could have avoided ..but he still said it live during the concert. Seems it came from the heart.’

In a rather strange and unexpected move, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin thanked concertgoers in India for forgiving the band for “all of the bad things Great Britain has done”. Let’s just say, an indirect apology for colonialism from the ‘Viva La Vida’ singer was not on our 2025 bingo cards.
