It was one hell a show that Coldplay put up over the the weekend at the global citizen festival 2016 in Mumbai. Over one lakh people attended the concert and naturally fans were stoked and they wanted to thank lead singer Chris Martin for performing in India for the first time.
People took to twitter for thanking Chris Martin, but as funny as it is, it was not the right one. They were actually tweeting a British stand-up comedian who had the same name.The lead singer is not even on twitter.
The comedian has had a sudden spike in followers from India, surpassing even the thousand mark. He tried to clarify several times that he was not the guy, but that has not stopped him from getting more followers from India
To the 500 Indian followers I gained in the last day I’m not in Coldplay. I’m sure Chris was great in Mumbai but I can’t pass on the message — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 19, 2016
.@ChrisMcomedy Now got a 1000 more followers, but compared to Indian population that’s only 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000.1 % of you — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 20, 2016
Since setting the record straight has not stopped the followers from coming in, the comedian thought he might as well as take advantage of it.
.@ChrisMcomedy let’s take advantage: can any of my new Indian followers hook me up with tickets to the next cricket test match please?? — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 20, 2016
Well, some of them did realize that they have followed the wrong Chris and joined in on the fun
