Coldplay pause concert to help young boy in distress

Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin has paused their concert in Sydney to help a young fan in distress.

At Sydney's Accor stadium, Martin spotted a young boy in the crowd who was being crushed behind a wall of pushing fans.

A video of the moment was shared on TikTok, showing the singer checking in on the kid before giving him the best seat in the house.

"You can sit right here, OK? You don't have to be squeezed," Martin told the boy during Wednesday night's show, pointing to a spot over the crowd control barriers.

Martin then turned to the security team if they could "get some headphones for him" before turning his attention back to the boy, as he explained, "Then you don't have to be squished by all these adults is all."

"You sit right there my little brother, OK. Better? Now let's get you ... do you want some coke or something? The drink, I mean," he said to laughs from the crowd.

"We'll take care of you man."

Once the boy was safely in position, Martin carried on with the show. 

The video quickly went viral, with many commenting that Martin's care for the young fan was a "class act", with many praising his "wonderful" actions.
