There, the two had a wonderful exchange about the impact that they’ve had on each other’s lives.
“It’s the first time someone has ever brought us a sign like this, so I’m going to say thank you for giving us this honor,” Martin said.James detailed how the band saved his life through their music, to which Martin said, “You saved my life, it’s the same. It works both ways, I’m afraid. We need you as much as you need us.”
James then requested that they play their 2014 hit, Magic. A beautiful video shows him on stage with Martin as the two sing together.

Martin, and Coldplay as a whole, have expressed their support for LGBTQ+ people previously. They’ve been spotted waving the LGBTQ+ flag at public events, and during the song “People of the Pride,” Martin was draped in a rainbow Pride flag. The song has been adopted by some as an anthem for gay rights.
