Coldplay Smashes Adele's Attendance Record in Australia

Coldplay broke a new attendance record for Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia previously set by Adele. The stadium confirmed a new attendance record of 227,000 people across the 'Music of the Spheres' world tour.

The record-breaking attendance comes as frontman Chris Martin fell through a trapdoor during the concert on Sunday. The 47-year-old fell while speaking to a crowd of 50,000 people. Footage shown on social media showed the singer walking backwards while speaking, before accidentally falling into an opened trap door.

“That's, uh, not planned, thank you for catching me,” Martin says into the mic. “Thank you guys, holy sh*t.” Martin said he had the jitters but was not injured during his fall. He did take the time to make a joke at his own expense, saying he will “probably be a YouTube moment.”

Coldplay'sMusic of the Spheres' world tour is continuing across Australia with stops in Sydney for several shows and New Zealand up next. Chris Martin isn't the only star who recently took a tumble on stage, either. Martin's mishap comes just weeks after Olivia Rodrigo also fell through the stage while performing in Melbourne—albeit at a different venue.

During the final night of her GUTS tour, Olivia Rodrigo was running across the stagepointing and cheering with fans. She accidentally ran straight into a hole in the ground on stage and fell. Video of the incident captured Rodrigo's reaction, who climbed out of the hole saying, “Oh my god, that was fun!”

“I'm okay. Woah. Sometimes there's just a hole in the stage,” she told the crowd. “That's all right. Okay. Where was I?
