At a Wembley Stadium show, Coldplay’s message of unity took a surprising turn when frontman Chris Martin dedicated a moment of reflection to conservative activist Charlie Kirk — sparking mixed reactions from fans and igniting an online debate.
Before performing their hit song “Fix You” on Friday, September 12, Coldplay’s frontman invited the audience to raise their hands and “send love anywhere you wanna send it in the world. There are so many places that might need it today.”
Martin continued, “You can send this to your brother or your sister, you can send it to the families of people who have been going through terrible stuff, you can send it to Charlie Kirk’s family. You can send it to people you disagree with, but you send them love anyway… You can send it to peaceful people in the Middle East, in Ukraine and Russia.”

While Martin’s message emphasized compassion and unity, some Coldplay fans expressed disappointment and frustration, largely due to Kirk’s political views.
On X, one user reportedly stated they would “walk out” if Martin made a similar tribute at a concert they went to. Another called the dedication “insane” and added, “I booed that was insane. The fact that’s the only name he mentioned as well.”
The discussion also spread to Reddit, where fans debated the appropriateness of the tribute. One user wrote, “They just lost a lifelong Coldplay fan,” while another commented, “Regardless of the views of Kirk, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with somebody dedicating a song to the family ...”
As of now, neither Coldplay nor Martin has publicly responded to the backlash. However, they aren't the only artists facing criticism for their tributes. Country star Kane Brownshared that he received a flood of negative messages in his personal inbox, prompting him to take a break from social media.
Meanwhile, Sammy Hagar, former Van Halen frontman, posted a video of himself singing “Are the Good Times Really Over,” clarifying in the caption, “This is not a political statement, this is a question,” tagging Kirk’s account and signing off with “RIP.”
Some fans pushed back, with one writing, “RIP to the victims of the school shooting in Colorado on the same day. You shouldn’t have to be an extreme activist to get attention.”
