Coldplay Postpone Brazil Shows Due to Chris Martin’s “Serious Lung Infection”
Coldplay have been forced to postpone their run of Brazil shows due to illness. The band has announced that the upcoming gigs will be rescheduled to sometime in early 2023 after lead singer Chris Martin came down with a “serious lung infection.”
“With deep regret, we’ve been forced to postpone our upcoming shows in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo until early 2023,” Coldplay’s statement read. “Due to a serious lung infection, Chris has been put under strict doctor’s orders to rest for the next three weeks.”
The group added that they are “working as fast as possible to lock in the new dates” and will share an update in the next few days. “To everyone in Brazil who was looking forward to these concerts, we’re extremely sorry for any disappointment and inconvenience,” the statement continued, “and we’re so grateful for your understanding at this challenging time where we need to prioritise Chris’ health.”
Tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates. Requests for refunds will be honored at the point of sale. Read the full statement below.
