Coldplay's last stop on the Music of the Spheres world tour was in London on Friday. There, Coldplay singer Chris Martin urged the audience to send love "to Charlie Kirk's family" after the murder of the conservative influencer earlier in the week.
Let's raise our hands like this and send love wherever you want in the world, and there are so many places that need it today, said Chris Martin on stage at Wembley Stadium.
Here it comes from London. You can send this to your brother or sister, you can send it to families who have gone through terrible things. You can send it to Charlie Kirk's family, you can send it to any family. You can send it to people you don't agree with, but send them love anyway, said Martin, among other things.
Kirk, a conservative influencer, died at the age of 31 after being shot in the neck during an appearance on Wednesday at Utah Valley University. 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson has been arrested for the shooting.
Politicians and public figures from both the political right and left have condemned the murder. At the same time, Kirk's controversial comments on abortion rights, gun issues, black people's rights, homosexuals, and trans people have been highlighted.
