During Coldplay’s recent concert in Mumbai, Chris Martin surprised fans with an unexpected and candid apology. As the band performed their high-energy set, Martin took a moment to address the audience and thanked them for their warm welcome despite the band’s British roots. He expressed gratitude and said, “It is amazing to us that you welcome us even though we are from Great Britain.
