Coldplay still believes in love!
The band helped a fan with a proposal during their concert at London’s Wembley Stadium on Friday, Aug. 22 — but first they had a few key questions.
A video of the hilarious moment, shared on TikTok, shows Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joking around with the couple before honoring their request.
A man appeared on the Jumbotron holding a sign that read, “I want to propose,” with an arrow pointing to a woman standing in front of him. Once he read the sign, Martin, 48, proceeded to ask, “Okay, now listen. My brother, I need you to nod as I do some basic security checks, okay?”

The “Yellow” singer began his line of questioning with, “Is this person your partner? Yes? No one else’s partner?”
After the man gave an affirmative nod, Martin continued, “Are you cousins or siblings, or anything weird like that? Are you AI? Are you real people? Okay, then I think we can continue.”
The vocalist then began to sing, “My beautiful brother, here is some advice for free. As we all look on and see you go down, I advise you to get down on one knee.”
The audience cheered as the man followed the instructions and proceeded to propose to his partner. The woman smiled and covered her face as the man proposed, and moments later, the two shared a kiss.
“Congratulations, my brother and my sister,” Martin sang from the stage. “What a beautiful girl. What a wonderful guy. On a day like this, I encourage you to kiss. I hope you’re happy until the day that you die.”
The proposal occurred about a month after former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot’s viral kiss cam scandal at one of Coldplay’s shows in July.
A viral TikTok video showed the pair hiding their faces when they were spotted on camera, prompting Martin to joke that they were having an affair. “Oh, look at these two! All right, c’mon, you’re okay,” he said, before adding, “Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

The musician then gave fans a cheeky warning, saying, “So please, if you haven’t done your makeup, do your makeup now.”
Coldplay is performing their Music of the Spheres world tour at Wembley Stadium through Sept. 8.
