Coldplay played a “historic” first show without all four original members this week after bassist Guy Berryman was taken ill – watch the footage below.The Chris Martin-fronted band took to the stage in Melbourne last night (October 30) for the first of four gigs at the city’s Marvel Stadium.

They are currently on the Australia and New Zealand leg of their ongoing ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour.Footage has since emerged of Martin explaining that Berryman was “very, very sick” and would “not be able to play” the concert. “So we’ll have a slightly different show,” he continued.“We’ll do our best to make it amazing – and I know that it will be amazing, because we’re in Melbourne with all of you beautiful people.”Martin added: “If you see some mistakes, and some problems, it’s because we don’t have our bass player.

And we only had about an hour to figure it out. But we have figured it out, and we have a strange, alien, weird friend character playing bass – or looking like he’s playing bass.

So you’ll hear Guy, but you just won’t see him. Because he’s vomiting.”The singer said it was a “shame”, but promised fans “the best concert ever without a great bass player”.Unfortunately, Guy is sick and won’t be able to play today.
