Chris Martin was once left floored after a fan made an explicit request during a Coldplay gig.
The star, best known for fronting the British band, was touring America in 2016 when they reached the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The band were playing to thousands of fans during their world tour when the fanatic made the odd request.
As the singer was about to start singing the smash hit “Everglow” from the band’s 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams, Chris overheard the odd request from the fan. In a video uploaded to social media, the concertgoer exclaimed: “F*** me, Chris!”

Chris, then aged 39, was left baffled at the bizarre request as he sat down, about to play the piano. Under the spotlight, he could not help but respond to the fan, but laughed the proposal off in a hilarious manner.

Trying to maintain his composure, the Viva La Vida singer admitted: “It’s a lovely offer. I’d have to take you to dinner first though, you know what I’m saying?”
He continued as he joked with the enamoured fan: “You’ll have to recommend somewhere in Pittsburgh. All the sexual stuff aside, let’s play the song. Wow, I feel like I’m 15!”
The request came shortly after Chris “consciously uncoupled” from his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow earlier that year. As the track came on and Chris began to play for the thousands in the stadium, he laughed: “I think what you’re saying is not quite in the tone of the song!”

Many fans pointed out the irony of the odd request, as he began to purr the lyrics: “But when I’m cold, cold / Oh when I’m cold, cold. There’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow / There’s a feeling you give me, an everglow.”
It was later revealed that Chris did not take the fan up on his offer of going for dinner before getting up to bedroom antics. However, he did insist that together with Coldplay, he was all about “spreading the love these days”.
Now aged 47, Chris is back on the dating market after calling time with his fiancée Dakota Johnson. The pair had been together for a total of six years, before they decided to part ways and call off their upcoming nuptials.

Speaking to MailOnline, a source close to the now estranged couple said: “Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work. They’ll always have love for each other but they’ve both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term.”
Chris is continuing to write music with Coldplay as the band tour across Europe with their latest album. Dakota, on the other hand, has been hard at work with her acting gigs – most recently landing the titular role as Madame Webb in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
