Coldplay’s Chris Martin Affirms Commitment To M’sians, Disregarding Criticism
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has addressed the recent calls for the band to cancel their upcoming concert in Malaysia. ICYMI, the band’s promotion of a “culture of hedonism and perversion,” according to Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) chairman Nasrudin Hassan, was what prompted the call for the show to be cancelled here.
Martin reacted to the incident in an interview with Malaysian national radio station HITZ, praising the friendliness and hospitality of the Malaysian people. He emphasised that Coldplay invites everybody to their concerts, regardless of faith or other differences. Martin’s message was one of inclusivity, encouraging each person to be their authentic selves and to tolerate the same qualities in others.
He extended love to those who might not be pleased with their arrival, emphasising that Coldplay loves them as well.
