Official letter to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin…
Dear Chris,
Firstly, I’m a big Coldplay fan and love your music and the spirit you bring to your concerts. Over the years, you have consistently invited fans on stage, using those moments not for spectacle but to underscore a theme: our shared humanity, our common dignity, and the possibility of peace. That is a vision I deeply admire, and one that resonates with many of us who believe in the healing power of music.
It’s in that light that I want to reflect on a moment from your recent show in London.
You invited two women—Avia and Tal—onstage at Wembley Stadium. When they revealed they were from Israel, sections of the crowd began to boo. In response, you addressed the audience from the piano: “I’m very grateful that you’re here as humans. We are treating you as equal humans on Earth, regardless of where you come from.” You then added: “Although it’s controversial, maybe, I also want to welcome people in the audience from Palestine. I believe that we’re all equally human.”
