Coldplay had to interrupt their performance on two occasions as Chris Martin called in medical assistance and security personnel.
The band paused their Wembley concert on Saturday evening during their hit track Sparks before bringing proceedings to a standstill once more.
Lead vocalist Chris attracted the attention of security personnel as he gestured towards the audience while bringing the remainder of the band to a halt during their encore.
Medical staff and security operatives were observed making their way into the standing area of Wembley Stadium as a worried Chris watched proceedings unfold.
The audience began to applaud as they hurried towards the individual requiring assistance.
Prior to continuing with their set once the situation appeared to be under control, Chris enquired: “Does anyone else have any medical issues? Diabetes? Anything we need to know about?”.
He succeeded in completing Sparks before a second emergency occurred amongst the crowd immediately afterwards. As the stage lighting brightened, Chris quipped: “Oh god, we are making people faint. It’s your fault Guy [Berryman] for being so handsome that’s what it is. Everyone fainting looking at our bass player.”
Nevertheless, Chris adopted a more serious tone as he asked: “Are you guys okay, come on. We have got you, you are safe”, reports the Mirror.
The performer directed the crew towards those requiring help as he stated: “I hope you feel better my brother. He is going to look after you pretty well. Okay, alright? You will be safe, just hang out backstage and we will look after you.”
Speaking to the packed venue, Chris continued: “Thank you, thank you everybody for taking care of each other. That is amazing.”
Coldplay are presently midway through their unprecedented 10-show residency at Wembley stadium.
The group has surpassed the previous benchmark set by Taylor Swift and Take That.
During their Music of the Spheres global tour, the band has been compelled to implement significant alterations to a pair of performances.
The group announced yesterday that their concluding two performances of the mammoth Wembley stint have been rescheduled.
They explained that Rail, Maritime And Transport (RMT) union members on the London Underground taking strike action at various points from September 5 for a week had rendered it unfeasible for the concerts to proceed on September 7 and 8.
A statement from the band shared on social media declared: “We’re sorry to announce that, due to planned industrial action on the London Underground, we’ve been forced to reschedule our final two concerts of the current Wembley Stadium run.
“Without a Tube service, it’s impossible to get 82,000 people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7th and 8th September.
“To avoid cancelling the shows, our only option is to reschedule.”
The band confirmed the performance on September 7 would shift to September 6 and the performance on September 8 would move to September 12. Coldplay expressed their regret, stating: “We’re very sorry for the inevitable disappointment, frustration and inconvenience that this situation causes.”
The band reassured fans that the concerts scheduled for August 31, September 3 and September 4 will proceed as planned.
In a show of support for the local music scene, the band has pledged to donate 10% of their earnings from the Wembley gigs to the Music Venue Trust, which aids grassroots UK venues and emerging artists. Furthermore, the Wembley performances are set to be powered entirely by renewable energy, with no generators in use.
