Chris Martin At MCG: Coldplay Lead Singer Visits Iconic Cricket Stadium To Watch Australia vs Pakistan 1st ODI

Pakistan's tour of Australia did not begin on a good note after the visitors failed to post a huge total on board in the opening match of the series currently being played at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Besides the excitement on the field, the match also witnessed star power in the form of Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin who had come to watch the match. Martin was captured sitting in the crowd at the MCG alongside his father Anthony and band manager, Phil Harvey.

Martin and his band Coldplay were in Melbourne for their show when Martin had a mishap. During the concert, Martin accidentally stepped backwards while interacting with the crowd into an open trap door on stage leaving fans stunned. Someone was already standing inside the trap door and quickly extending their hands to cushion Chris' fall.
