Michael J Fox breaks silence on Coldplay’s Glastonbury show which left viewers ‘in tears’

Among all the incredible surprises that took place at Glastonbury throughout the weekend, there was one truly special guest who left viewers “in tears”.

While Dua Lipa was joined on the Pyramid Stage by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker on Friday (June 28), Coldplay followed up the following night by bringing out the likes of Little Simz for their headlining set.

And then, for a never-before-seen rendition of some of their hits, the British group brought out the one and only Michael J. Fox.

Appearing for a touching reason, the Back to the future The actor has now broken his silence after making Glastonbury viewers quite emotional on Saturday.

The legendary 63-year-old, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of just 29 in 1991, joined the band on stage in a wheelchair.

Well known for his portrayal of Marty McFly in the iconic film franchise, Fox accompanied Coldplay for their guitar-driven tracks “Humankind” and the moving “Fix You.”

And BBC viewers said they were “hooting” at the performance as the “legend” had “his moment” at the festival.

And sharing snaps and clips from his time at Worthy Farm, the actor wrote on Instagram yesterday: “My team: Lauren, John and Jeff and Steve. Glastonbury all my love and thanks to the @coldplay team who were so took good care of us.

“And a big thank you to Chris, Will, Johnny, Guy and Phil. Oh yeah, in case you were wondering… it was mind-blowing.”

“There is a time for every group and a group for every moment. It’s @coldplay time. More photos to come. »

In addition to a behind-the-scenes look at the Coldplay concert, he shared a photo of a sign that read “Coldplay Special Guest” and an image of himself in front of a sign that read: “Optimism is an act policy. »

Fans have commented calling Fox a “hero” because he sets “an example of life being lived to the fullest.”

Another wrote: “Awesome! You are incredible and a true inspiration to all of us living with Parkinson’s! Your optimism inspires us all.”

It turns out that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and his son Moses are huge fans of the legendary film and have already invited Fox to perform with the band.

He joined them in 2016 when the Briton explained Back to the future is their “favorite movie of all time”.

And on Saturday, during the typically emotional “Fix You,” they changed the lyrics to include a bit of “Johnny B. Goode” — that Chuck Berry tune that McFly, of course, plays in the film.

Iconic.
