On Thursday, many Delhiites woke up to have their hearts broken on coming to know that popular band Coldplay’s lead vocalist Chris Martin did an impromptu gig in town last night. The piece of news was especially hurtful to the band’s fans since many in India have been asking for a Coldplay concert in the country for a long time through various fan groups and some have even launched online petitions for the same.



The above photo from All India Bakchod’s Rohan Joshi who broke the news (and internet) had the caption:
“Ohhhh, that’s just Chris Martin from Coldplay, playing a little acoustic set at a bar in Delhi, for fun, because why not? Yes my life is a surreal, ridiculous thing.”



Soon after, pictures and videos of the gig started surfacing where Martin was seen playing songs such as ‘Paradise’ and ‘Fix You’ among others as audience sang along.

 

The impromptu gip apparently took place at the Summer House Café near Hauz Khas Village, a popular haunt for the bar-hoppers in the capital. Vishal Dadlani and Frieda Pinto were also spotted. Dadlani spilled the beans on how it actually happened, while maintaining that it was random.

Social media, however, found the news too much to deal with and responded the way it does best, as hilarity ensued. Here’s a selection.
