British rock band Coldplay are trending on social media, but it’s not just their songs that are being talked about this time. The band’s lead singer Chris Martin surprised fans with his recent show in Singapore using sign language. The frontman’s unexpected move not only reflected inclusivity, but also earned him praise from his fans around the world. Fans expressed their gratitude for his thoughtful gesture, highlighting the importance of representation and diversity in the music industry.
An excerpt of the concert was shared on Instagram with the caption: “Oh my god, how can I move on from this whole experience?” and the clip shows the band performing the song “Something Just Like This.” The situation is reflected. Chris said as lines played in the background. Perform in sign language.
Fans praised the band and the singer’s kind attitude. One user said: “Big admiration and respect for Coldplay,” while another said: “Love Coldplay even more… Thanks for posting this… Wow, sold out concert! Where are you going?” The concert is sold out…it’s amazing!”
Another fan who was at the concert said: “Well…still on cloud nine. Still in awe of this experience…absolutely awesome.”
“He’s always great,” read another comment.
The band enlisted the help of two deaf artists to recreate the song in sign language. They presented their work with two of his songs: “Something Just Like This” and “Hymn for the Weekend.” One of them told The Strait Times that although the result was not perfect, he thought it was a big win for the community.
She told the portal: “It’s not very accurate, but only deaf signers can tell. It’s like someone behind the curtain is singing to the singer, but the singer is lip-syncing.” But this isn’t just Chris following my video or appropriating sign language while performing on stage. It gives us an immersive and comprehensive experience. Thank you to Coldplay.”
In a social media post, the artist said he was “very impressed with Coldplay’s commitment to making their concerts deaf-inclusive.” I had my first experience there this year. It will be one of my best memories of 2024. ”
