Coldplay’s Chris Martin Gives Fan with Osteoarthritis a Ride to Concert
Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin has garnered praise for his act of kindness towards a fan who was struggling with osteoarthritis on her way to his concert. Saundra Glenn, the fan in question, was making her way to see Coldplay perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Luton, U.K. when she found herself exhausted and in pain due to her condition.
As Saundra leaned against a railing, contemplating turning back and watching the show from home, a black Mercedes pulled up beside her. To her surprise, Chris Martin himself offered her a ride to the concert venue after noticing her difficulty. Despite feeling ungainly and declining his help to get into the car, Saundra was touched by his gesture of kindness.
The pair had a lovely chat during the ride, discussing Luton, Saundra’s osteoarthritis, and even their ages. Chris Martin reassured Saundra, who is 64 years old, that she still has a long way to go. Upon arriving at the venue, Martin ensured that Saundra was taken care of by arranging for a golf cart to transport her where she needed to go.
Saundra took to social media to share her experience, expressing her gratitude towards Chris Martin for his compassion and generosity. The heartwarming encounter has since gained attention online, with many praising the Coldplay frontman for his thoughtfulness and humility.
