Coldplay’s Mumbai concert on January 18, 2025, turned into a historic moment when frontman Chris Martin addressed a sensitive topic—Britain's colonial legacy in India. Speaking to the massive crowd at DY Patil Stadium, Martin thanked Indian fans for their forgiveness toward Britain's colonial past. “Thank you for welcoming us even though we are from Great Britain. Thanks for forgiving us for everything Great Britain did,” he said, acknowledging the painful history between the two nations.
