Coldplay has set a new attendance record at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, drawing 227,000 people during their 'Music of the Spheres' world tour stops, surpassing the previous record held by Adele.

During Sunday's performance, frontman Chris Martin experienced an unexpected fall through a trapdoor while addressing the 50,000-strong crowd. Martin handled the incident with humor, acknowledging it wasn't planned and joking it would likely become "a YouTube moment." He confirmed he wasn't injured from the fall.

The band's tour continues with upcoming shows in Sydney and New Zealand. Coincidentally, another artist, Olivia Rodrigo, experienced a similar stage fall in Melbourne recently during her GUTS tour finale, though at a different venue. Both artists recovered quickly and continued their performances without issue.
