In a moment that sent fans of both Coldplay and BTS into a collective frenzy, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin paid a touching tribute to the global K-pop superstars during their “Music of the Spheres World Tour” stop in Mumbai, India. As the band performed their hit collaboration track “My Universe,” Martin took a moment to acknowledge BTS, proving once again the deep mutual respect and camaraderie between the two iconic acts.

The concert, held at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, was a spectacle of lights, music, and emotion, drawing thousands of fans from across the country. But it was during “My Universe,” the chart-topping collaboration between Coldplay and BTS, that the night reached a truly unforgettable peak. As the opening notes of the song filled the stadium, Martin paused to address the crowd.

“This next song is very special to us,” he said, his voice filled with warmth. “It’s a song we made with some incredible artists who couldn’t be here tonight—BTS. We love you, BTS!” The crowd erupted in cheers, with fans waving their lightsticks and singing along to every word of the track, which celebrates unity and love across boundaries.

The heartfelt shoutout quickly went viral on social media, with fans of both groups—affectionately known as ARMY and Coldplayers—flooding platforms like Twitter and Instagram with messages of love and appreciation. “Coldplay and BTS together will always be iconic,” one fan tweeted, while another wrote, “This is why music has no borders. Two legendary groups, one incredible song.”

The collaboration between Coldplay and BTS, released in 2021, was a cultural milestone, blending Coldplay’s anthemic rock sound with BTS’s signature K-pop flair. The song topped charts worldwide and became a symbol of global unity, resonating deeply with fans across generations and cultures.

Coldplay’s Mumbai concert was a celebration of this spirit of connection, with the band delivering a high-energy performance that included hits like “Viva La Vida,” “Fix You,” and “A Sky Full of Stars.” The inclusion of “My Universe” and the shoutout to BTS added an extra layer of emotion, reminding fans of the power of music to bring people together.

For ARMYs, the moment was particularly poignant, as BTS members are currently fulfilling their mandatory military service in South Korea. The shoutout served as a reminder of the group’s enduring influence and the love they continue to inspire, even during their hiatus.

As Coldplay’s world tour continues to captivate audiences across the globe, this heartfelt tribute to BTS in Mumbai will undoubtedly remain one of the tour’s most memorable moments. It’s a testament to the bond between two of the world’s biggest musical acts and the universal language of music that unites us all.
