A Coldplay fan with "a dodgy right hip" received a first-class escort to the band's concert on Sunday (May 26) courtesy of the band's frontman Chris Martin, after he noticed her struggling to walk.
Saundra Glenn, who suffers from osteoarthritis, shared on X that she was walking towards the accessibility box office at Stockwood Park in Luton, UK to see Coldplay perform a show at Radio 1's Big Weekend.
"That moment when Chris Martin @Coldplay saw me struggling to walk, had his car stop and gave me a lift," Glenn wrote. "Blooming amazing. Can't believe this happened. What a decent bloke ❤️ We had a nice chat too. He is single and likes #Luton 😉"
In an interview with the BBC, Glenn explained that Martin's black Mercedes pulled up alongside her to offer some assistance.
"The door opens and I said, 'oh that's Chris Martin, I can't get in with him' and they said 'yes you can'," she said.
Glenn was ready to turn around and go back home to watch the band's performance on TV, when Martin's car stopped to help.
"But I thought I loved Coldplay and never thought I'd never get another chance to see them in my home town," she said.
Upon arrival, Glenn said Martin continued with the hospitality, adding, "When we got to the artist area, he didn't leave me there, he said 'get the golf buggy and make sure Saundra reaches her destination.' It's the fact he's conscious of disability, he's such a kind person."
Of course, it didn't take long for UK tabloids to jump on one quick tidbit of info Glenn dropped in her tweet: that Chris Martin is single. In March, rumours were swirling that he and long-time partner Dakota Johnson were engaged.
As of this time, reps for Martin and Johnson have not confirmed if the couple are no longer together, but Glenn did double down on the "he's single" talk when she responded to a request for her to put in a good word for one X user. "I'm not a magician. LOL Go out there and find a kind man for you 🤗" she said in jest.
