The Coldplay jumbotron saga just keeps delivering.

During Friday’s show at Wembley Stadium, Chris Martin spotted a fan holding up a sign asking if he could propose to his girlfriend. Rather than just handing over the spotlight, Martin made it a full-blown bit.

“Okay, now listen,” he said. “My brother, I need you to nod as I do some basic security checks, okay?”

What followed felt like a rom-com meets airport screening. Martin asked if the woman was actually his partner, made sure they weren’t cousins or siblings, and even threw in a tongue-in-cheek AI check: “Are you real people?”

Once the guy passed with flying colors, Martin serenaded the couple through the big moment.

The proposal was a hit — and just another example of Coldplay’s frontman turning stadium-sized shows into intimate, hilarious memories fans won’t forget.
