**Chris Martin Forgets Lyrics, Blames Age During Toronto Coldplay Concert**
Toronto, Canada – Coldplay frontman Chris Martin experienced a memorable (and slightly embarrassing) moment during the band’s “Music of the Spheres World Tour” stop in Toronto last week. While performing their hit song “A Sky Full of Stars,” the 48-year-old singer forgot the lyrics and missed his cue, forcing the band to halt the performance.
“I f—– up, I f—– up. I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,” Martin told the audience, according to a fan-captured TikTok video. He explained that it was a genuine mistake, despite his frequent joking about stopping the song. Martin apologized profusely, jokingly blaming his age. “It happens sometimes when you’re my age. I’m nearly 80 years old,” he quipped. He then consulted with his bandmates, whom he jokingly referred to as his “brothers for 30 years”
He even playfully requested that fans refrain from posting the blunder online, a plea which, unsurprisingly, went unheeded.
Despite the gaffe, most fans in attendance were understanding, taking to social media to express their continued support. “This concert was magical and they are so talented. Mistakes happen. They’re human too,” one user commented. However, not everyone was as forgiving, with at least one comment questioning Martin’s ability to sing his songs properly on stage.
The “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” which began in March 2022, continues with sold-out shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA, tonight and tomorrow. The tour is scheduled to conclude in September after stops in several North American cities and final performances in Hull and London.
