The crowd at Glastonbury wasn’t ready for that yet, but their kids are gonna love it. Michael J. Fox, 63, joined Coldplay onstage to play guitar during the band’s Glastonbury festival performance on Saturday. Chris Martin took a moment to thank the ‘Back to the Future’ star, who has Parkinson’s disease and performed in a wheelchair.
The main reason why we’re in a band is because of watching ‘Back to the Future,’ so thank you to our hero forever, and one of the most amazing people on Earth, Mr. Michael J. Fox,
Martin, 47, told the crowd. Thank you so much, Michael.
Fox’s character in ‘Back to the Future,’ Marty McFly, famously plays guitar during a key scene at a school dance in 1955. Marty performs ‘Johnny B. Goode’ years before the song’s debut, inspiring Chuck Berry to record it, and stuns the crowd into silence with his forward-looking guitar solo.
I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet,
McFly tells the flabbergasted audience, but your kids are gonna love it.
On ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ in 2022, Martin said this scene made me want to be in a band.
This isn’t the first time Fox has performed with Coldplay. In 2016, he joined the band at a show in New Jersey to play ‘Earth Angel’ and ‘Johnny B. Goode’, both songs from the ‘Back to the Future’ school dance scene. Onstage, Martin described ‘Back to the Future’ as his and his son Moses’ favorite movie of all time.
