Gordi Moves Chris Martin to Tears in Melbourne

Australian musician Gordi, also known as Sophie Payten, shared a touching moment during a meeting with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in Melbourne, where she performed her song 'Lunch at Dune' that brought him to tears. Martin, who was in Melbourne for a concert, expressed admiration for Gordi's music, stating that songs like hers 'deserve to be heard'. This encounter occurred during a gathering of local artists, where Martin typically seeks to connect with emerging talent while on tour. Additionally, during Coldplay's concert, Martin honored his late friend Shane Warne by dedicating the song 'Sparks' to him, citing their shared memories and the emotional weight of the tribute. The concert also marked a historic moment for Coldplay, being their first performance without all four founding members due to bassist Guy Berryman's illness.
