The incident happened this past Monday when Chris, 47, dropped into a Melbourne recording studio and coincidentally overheard the band Shakerfaker rehearsing. Impressed by how they played Oasis’ music, Chris didn’t hesitate to step in and express his admiration for the band’s skills. This unexpected gesture brought excitement to the entire group, especially lead singer Kieran O’Sullivan.
Shakerfaker later shared a photo of themselves with Chris Martin on social media, along with an emotional caption: “Everyone, meet Shakerfaker’s newest fan. You might know him as Chris Martin from Coldplay, but we know him as the charming guy who just popped into our rehearsal room.”
They also revealed that Chris Martin had paid the band a surprising compliment: “Sorry to interrupt, but you sound terrific.” After listening, Chris even looked over Shakerfaker’s setlist for Saturday’s performance and gave his approval.
