Ellise Shafer During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to promote Coldplay‘s new album “Moon Music,” frontman Chris Martin reflected on the band’s headlining set at Glastonbury, which included a special guest: Michael J.
Fox. Fox joined Coldplay on guitar during the song “Humankind,” and stuck around for a touching rendition of “Fix You.” Fox, who has been battling Parkinson’s Disease since 1991, was in a wheelchair for the performance. “The main reason we’re in a band is because of ‘Back to the Future,’” Martin told the audience. “So thank you to Michael, our hero.” Recounting the moment to Fallon, Martin said: “I think there are certain things for people your age and my age which are so imprinted on us in terms of what made us dream of doing this job, and one of those things for me is Michael in ‘Back to the Future’ … It’s so trippy to me that we get to play with him because it just feels like being 7 and being in heaven, that’s what it feels like.
Of course, he’s so inspirational as a person, and then he was Marty McFly.” Coldplay’s Glastonbury surprise wasn’t the first time Martin and Fox have played together.
Martin has brought him out as a special guest during Coldplay gigs before, and the two also duetted in 2013 at the gala for Fox’s Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
