Coldplay Pay Tribute to Charlie Kirk

Coldplay briefly paid tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk during their concert at London’s Wembley Stadium Friday night. Prior to the band’s performance of “Fix You,” frontman Chris Martin encouraged the audience to raise their hands and “send love anywhere you wanna send it in the world. There are so many places that might need it today.”

“You can send this to your brother or your sister, you can send it to the families of people who have been going through terrible stuff, you can send it to Charlie Kirk’s family,” Martin continued. “You can send it to people you disagree with, but you send them love anyway… You can send it to peaceful people in the Middle East, in Ukraine and Russia.”

Kirk was shot an killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. A 22-year-old Utah native identified as Tyler Robinson has since been arrested and charged with suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, and obstruction of justice.

On their final night at @Wembley Stadium, @coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin suggested that fans could send love to Charlie’s Kirk’s family. Charlie was a right-wing activist and a close ally of @President Donald J Trump. He was shot dead on Wednesday whilst speaking at an event in Utah. 🎥 video by @Lisa Mc #coldplay #charliekirk #chrismartin #donaldtrump #london
