Coldplay opened his heart to fans and encouraged him to send love to Charlie Kirk’s family after his death by shooting.
“Set up your hands like this and send love wherever you want to send it in the world,” band frontman Chris Martin said on stage at Wembley Stadium in London on Friday.
“You can send this to your brother or sister. You can send it to the families of people who are experiencing something terrible. You can send it to the family of Charlie Kirk.”
“You can send it to people you don’t agree with, but send them love anyway. You can send it to the peaceful people of the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia,” the singer continued before the band performed their hit song “Fix You.”
In the clip circulating via Tiktok, 48-year-old Martin raised his hand over his head, shaking his fingers.
Kirk passed away Thursday at the age of 31 after suffering a fatal sniper shot while speaking on the Utah Valley University campus about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.
The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Washington, Utah, was arrested Friday and is expected to face aggravated murder charges.
Conservative activists were chasing away the “American Comeback Tour” which had planned stops at universities around the country.
President Donald Trump announced Kirk’s death on the same day through a true society. “Great and even legendary, Charlie Kirk is dead. He wrote, either he didn’t understand or anyone had the center of the youth of the United States better than Charlie.”
“He was loved and admired by everyone, especially me, and now he is not with us anymore,” the Post continued.
“Melania and my sympathy go out to family with his beautiful wife Erica. Charlie, we love you!”
Amidst intensifying tensions over what Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called a “political assassination,” many other well-known personalities, including Ivanka Trump, Chris Pratt and the host of “The Scenery,” expressed sympathy for the widow of the murdered critic, Erica Kirk and their two children.
Martin’s heartwarming gesture comes two months after Andy Byron, who is hugging the camera amid allegations of events at a Boston concert, and Kristan Cabott, the company’s HR director, accidentally caught the astronomer CEO and the company’s director.
