British rock band Coldplay performed in India after nine years at the DY Patil Stadium over the weekend. The band consists of vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer and percussionist Will Champion, and manager Phil Harvey. While Chris captivated the audience with his humour, the singer is now making headlines for his statement on British colonialism.
In a video shared by concertgoers on social media, Chris Martin can be heard saying, "It is amazing to us that you welcome us even though we are from Great Britain. Thank you for forgiving us for all of the bad things that Great Britain has done.”
