Overview

• During Coldplay’s Wembley show on Friday, a man holding a proposal sign was spotlighted as Chris Martin jokingly verified details with questions like whether they were partners, related, or even AI.
• After the light-hearted checks, Martin urged the fan to kneel, and the woman appeared to accept before the couple kissed as the crowd cheered.
• The moment references a July kiss-cam clip from a Boston-area show that went viral, involving then-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot; Byron has since resigned, and the episode spawned widespread memes.
• Martin has said the fan-focused Jumbotron segment will continue, telling a Hull audience last week that the band would keep doing it to meet fans.
• Evening Standard adds that Coldplay’s upcoming album, Moon Music, is expected later this year with collaborations reported to include Burna Boy and Ayra Starr.
