During the final Wembley show of their record-breaking\u00a0Music Of The Spheres Tour,<\/em>\u00a0Coldplay\u00a0referenced the Conservative activist Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated earlier this week.<\/p>\n

On September 12th, the band played their tenth show in a row at Wembley Stadium. It was the last show of their tour that kicked off in 2022 and has traversed the globe four times.<\/p>\n

Before the band broke into the beloved ballad, \u2018Fix You\u2019, frontman Chris Martin encouraged the audience to raise their hands in the air. He addressed the crowd, saying: \u201cLet\u2019s raise our hands like this and send love anywhere you want to send it in the world. There are so many places that might need it today, so here it comes from London\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can send this to your brother or your sister. You can send it to the families of people who\u2019ve been going through terrible stuff. You can send it to Charlie Kirk\u2019s family. You can send it to anybody\u2019s family. You can send it to people you disagree with but you send them love anyway\u201d.<\/p>\n

Martin added: \u201cYou can send it to peaceful people in the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia, Azerbaijan and Sudan and Somalia, anywhere that you think might need love from London\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kirk was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10th. After a long manhunt, a 22-year-old Utah native named Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged with suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, and obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n

Recently, prolific author Stephen King was forced to apologise after making an\u00a0untrue statement\u00a0in reaction to Kirk\u2019s death. He claimed that Kirk \u201cadvocated stoning gays to death\u201d.<\/p>\n

After much backlash and fact-checking from fellow X users, King wrote, \u201cI was wrong, and I apologize. I have deleted the post.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the same Coldplay show, Martin revealed the band\u2019s next plans as a huge chapter comes to a close. The frontman\u00a0revealed\u00a0gleefully on stage that the band would take a well-earned break, but the tour would resume \u201csomewhere in southern Africa in about 18 months\u201d.<\/p>\n
