Fans of the Glastonbury Festival were buzzing with excitement over Coldplay's record-breaking fifth headline performance. From surprise guest appearances to a set list filled with their biggest hits, it was truly a feast for the senses. However, amidst all the musical magic, there was one thing that caught the attention of viewers at home.
Frontman Chris Martin took to the iconic Pyramid Stage on Saturday night, performing for a crowd of over 100,000 people while a record-breaking 7.6 million viewers tuned in to watch the set on BBC. His energetic performances of songs like "Higher Power," "The Scientist," "Clocks," and "Viva La Vida" had everyone on their feet, but it was his accent in between songs that had people talking.
On social media, fans couldn't help but express their confusion over Chris's apparent change in accent. Despite being born in Whitestone, Devon, some viewers noticed a shift in his accent that seemed to resemble "a crap 1970's TV detective." Comments like, "Has he been living in the Austrian Alps for the last 10 years?" and "Chris Martin talks like me when I inadvertently slip into a generic 'foreign' accent" flooded the internet.
While some were quick to criticize, others came to his defense, speculating that his time living in Malibu, California with his partner Dakota Johnson may have influenced his accent. The 34-year-old actress, who hails from Texas, has been dating Chris since 2017.
Regardless of the accent debate, Chris's performance was a hit, with even his girlfriend Dakota spotted singing and dancing along from the friends and family viewing area. Their presence together at the festival put to rest any rumors of a secret split, as they continue to focus on their respective careers.
But it wasn't just Coldplay's performance that had everyone talking. The festival also saw surprise appearances from the likes of Tom Cruise and Gillian Anderson, as well as a cameo from actor Michael J Fox. The atmosphere was electric, with the crowd wearing LED bracelets that lit up in sync with the music.
As the night came to a close, Chris thanked the audience for making Glastonbury "the greatest city on Earth." And with this record-breaking performance, Coldplay solidified their place among the festival's top performers, overtaking The Cure for the most headlining slots at the iconic Pyramid Stage.
But the magic of Glastonbury doesn't just end with the music. It's a place where people from all over the world come together to celebrate and create unforgettable memories. And as the festival comes to a close, fans are already eagerly anticipating what surprises and musical magic Glastonbury 2024 will bring.
