Second incident with celeb in Melbourne
Last month, singer Olivia Rodrigo fell into a small opening on the stage during her performance at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. She quickly reassured the fans saying, “Oh my God! That was fun, I’m OK! Sometimes there is just a hole in the stage, OK… where was I?”

More about Coldplay
Earlier, Chris spoke about Coldplay's plans to release 12 "proper albums" out of which it has already put out 10, including the upcoming Moon Music. In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, he said it's important to set a "limit" to what Coldplay needs to do as a group.
"We are only going to do 12 proper albums, and that's real... because less is more. And for some of our critics, even less would be even more. It's really important that we have that limit. There's only 12 and a half Beatles albums. There's about the same Bob Marley, so all of our heroes. And also having that limit means that the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it's almost impossible, which is great," he had said.
