Chris Martin made a Coldplay fan’s dream come true by giving her a ride to one of the band’s concerts. Saundra Glenn, a 64-year-old longtime fan struggling with osteoarthritis, almost missed seeing the band perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Luton, England.
Glenn’s day took an incredible turn when Chris Martin himself pulled up in a car and offered her a lift. She shared her unforgettable experience on X, writing, “That moment when Chris Martin @Coldplay saw me struggling to walk, had his car stop and gave me a lift. Blooming amazing. Can’t believe this happened.”
Glenn mentioned they had a “nice” conversation during their ride, adding, “What a decent bloke ❤️. We had a nice chat too.” Initially overwhelmed by Martin’s unexpected kindness, she hesitated but was reassured by others in the car. During their chat, she even recommended a local restaurant to him.
In an interview with the BBC, Glenn recounted her surprise encounter, saying, “The door opens and I said, ‘Oh that’s Chris Martin, I can’t get in with him,’” but the passengers encouraged her, replying, “’Yes you can.’”
Martin didn’t just drop her off; he ensured she reached her spot at the concert safely. “When we got to the artist area, he didn’t leave me there; he said, ‘get the golf buggy and make sure Saundra reaches her destination,’” Glenn shared.
This act of kindness inspired Glenn and many others, highlighting Chris Martin’s down-to-earth nature and generosity.
