Coldplay's Chris Martin Tosses Singing Intruder Out of His Garden

Coldplay’s Chris Martin was forced to defend his property when an intruder decided to stage an impromptu performance of Coldplay material at Martin’s residence. As reported by London’s Daily Mirror, Martin first gave singing tips to the aspiring vocalist before asking him to leave the premises.

“I had a guy the other day who climbed over the gate of our house and started singing Coldplay songs to his friends on the street,” Martin said.

The Coldplay frontman told the uninvited visitor, who had climbed a garden wall at the residence, that he wasn’t singing the songs correctly. “Listen, you’re just not doing that right,” he said. The trespasser complied without argument when Martin asked him to leave. “He politely left,” Martin said. “It was bordering on intrusion. Still, it’s nice that people like the songs.”

Coldplay’s Chris Martin played “Wonderwall” at a tribute tribute gig at a London pub Wednesday night (April13). Simon Pegg organized the concert in memory of the pub’s late landlord John Parkhouse. The pub, The Boogaloo in Highgate, supposedly inspired The Winchester in his movie Shaun of the Dead.

Martin asked the audience what song they’d like to hear next and someone requested “Wonderwall.”

Martin replied, “[Expletive] it, I’ll do it! But only if you do it with me.”

Pegg later tweeted: “Big ups to The Boogaloo on Archway Road. What a great night and a lovely send off for a lovely man. Safe travels John.”
