Coldplay and Michael J. Fox over the years
"The main reason we're in a band is because of 'Back to the Future'"
Coldplay brought out Michael J. Fox at Glastonbury this weekend, which prompted me to rewatch some of the previous interactions between the two.
Chris Martin has said on multiple occasions that ‘Back to the Future’ is his favorite movie, and that Coldplay wouldn’t exist without it. Given that Coldplay is my favorite band and ‘Back to the Future’ is my favorite movie, I absolutely love this friendship.
All of these performances (embedded below) are wonderful. This weekend’s performance of ‘Fix You’ at Glastonbury is especially beautiful. Also of note: for years, Coldplay’s intro song for their concerts was the ‘Back to the Future’ theme song.
