Michael J. Fox made a surprise appearance onstage with Coldplay in England. The “Back to the Future” star joined the band at the end of their set at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival June 29.
Fox was introduced by the band’s frontman Chris Martin as he started to improvise a tune with lyrics inspired by fans in the crowd as well as the co-founder of the festival, Michael Eavis. Martin sang an ode to Fox next, with the camera panning to Fox holding a guitar backstage as the crowd goes wild for the actor. “Oh here's another legendary Michael,” Martin sang as he strummed his guitar.
“One who just totally rocks. With his Chuck Berry riff, and the way he punched Biff, ladies and gentleman, please welcome Michael J. Fox.
” Fox jammed along with the band for a performance of their hit “Fix You.” At one point during the song, Martin joined Fox and sang beside him. As they built up to the song's iconic bridge, Fox joined the rest of the band, passionately strumming on the guitar and kicking his leg in the air at the beat drop.
At the end of the performance, Martin took a moment to express his gratitude to Fox for joining them onstage, as well as being their “hero.” “Thank you so much everybody, and especially, thank you to the main reason why we’re in a band, because of watching ‘Back to the Future,’” Martin said. “So thank you to our hero forever, and one of the most amazing people on earth, Mr.
Michael J. Fox. Thanks so much, Michael.
