The Coldplay frontman brought a trans fan named James on stage during a recent Coldplay concert in Dublin after seeing his emotional sign in the crowd.

Chris Martin of Coldplay shared a special moment with a trans fan during a concert in Dublin, Ireland.

While performing, Martin saw a sign from a fan named James that said, “Trans fan. Coldplay saved my life. It’s my dream to come on stage.” Martin invited James up, and they shared a touching conversation.


James told Martin how much Coldplay’s music helped him. Martin replied, “You saved my life too. We need you as much as you need us.”

Coldplay then performed “Magic” at James’ request.

Fans praised the band for their support of the LGBTQ+ community, with Martin waving a Pride flag during a past performance.

People were charmed by the wholesome moment.


A lot of people confessed to shedding a few tears.



Martin's gesture was not overlooked by other transgender fans.

Not all the feedback was positive, unfortunately, but the overwhelming majority of commenters were supportive.


If nothing else, this moment cemented Coldplay as good people.



More than Martin's gesture, people who were at the event will remember James' smile.

Coldplay is on their Music of the Spheres World Tour, which travels to Australia next.

Matthew Lillard Shares Heartbreaking Reaction After Quentin Tarantino Criticizes His Acting

Actor Matthew Lillard has built a career out of playing the chaotic, the heartfelt, and the unexpectedly unforgettable, from Scream to The Descendants to She’s All That and even James Gunn’s early live-action Scooby-Doo movies.

And yet, none of it has managed to charm Quentin Tarantino, who recently announced that he does not care for Lillard’s acting. Or, apparently, for Lillard at all. During an appearance on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino casually tossed Lillard onto a list of actors he thinks miss the mark.
