During Coldplay’s last performance at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, lead singer Chris Martin had a close call when he fell through an open trapdoor on stage. This unexpected moment unfolded on Sunday and was captured in videos and photos, many of which are now circulating online.
In a clip shared by Greg Briggs on X, Martin can be seen falling into a trapdoor while interacting with fans. The audience gasps in shock, but crew members positioned in the trapdoor support Martin, and he is back on his feet in seconds. He then addresses the crowd saying, “That wasn’t planned. Thank you for catching me so much. Thank you guys, that was a YouTube moment.”
The video was shared along with a caption: “The moment Chris Martin fell through a trapdoor right in front of me at the #Coldplay concert tonight.”

The video quickly went viral and now has over 40,000 views, with many users leaving comments on the post.
An individual commented, “Looks like he fell backwards into a crew pit – I don’t see a trap door. Look where you’re going Chris!” to which Briggs replied, “They opened a trapdoor so another singer could come up to sing with him and he walked backwards into it.”
Another user wrote, “My. How on earth did this happen. He could have been seriously injured. Glad he’s ok.”
A third user said, “The same thing happened to Olivia Rodrigo at a different venue in Melbourne. Not good.”
Oliver Rodrigo’s similar incident
During her performance at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Olivia Rodrigo accidentally fell into a small opening on the stage. She quickly comforted her fans, exclaiming, “Oh my God! That was fun, I’m OK! Sometimes there is just a hole in the stage, OK… where was I?”
