Heartfelt Messages from Coldplay
Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland recorded a special congratulatory video for Lucas, a 13-year-old from Surrey, who is an avid Coldplay fan and passionate guitarist. Lucas has hydrocephalus, a condition that leads to fluid accumulation in the brain, and he has received support from the charity Harry’s Hat, which is funded by Children In Need to assist those with this condition.
Chris Martin shared his thoughts with Lucas, saying, “We wanted to send you our love, encouragement, and respect. We love you, man!” Jonny Buckland also encouraged Lucas, telling him to “keep up the guitaring.” This wasn’t just an encouragement but a powerful affirmation from his idols, providing Lucas with strength and confidence.
