Chris Martin is in India. Yes, you’ve read that right. Coldplay’s Chris Martin is in India!
Delhi got super lucky when late on Wednesday night Coldplay frontman and multi-Grammy award winner Chris Martin decided to play an impromptu set at Summer House in Delhi’s Hauz Khas village. Yep. That happened.
Vishal Dadlani, who apparently facilitated this epic event tweeted, “It wasn’t an event. We were at a dinner together, and he just went ’let’s go play somewhere’! And, boom!”
Still have difficulty believing that? Well, present in the audience were Hollywood superstar Freida Pinto, folk-rock musician Raghu Dixit and the crew from All India Bakchod.
Martin played ‘Fix You’, ‘Viva la Vida’ and ‘Paradise’.
While the people present at Summer House last night are thanking their luck, the rest of us are wondering and cursing the universe thinking, “Why not me!”
Here are some tweets to make you feel a little worse.

Of course then there were few who felt they were being cheated by the universe. Namely Mumbaikars:
Could this be the Coldplay gig India has been waiting for? Rolling Stone India’s ex-Editor Bobin James thinks it might just be. But the director of OML is not adding any fuel to fire and promptly shot down rumours of Coldplay performing at NH7 this year.
