Chris Martin proved his fans have all his love as he stopped a recent Coldplay show in Sydney, Australia to help a young boy who was caught in the crowd.
Footage posted to TikTok from the concert on Thursday, November 7, shows Martin, 47, pointing to the child in the standing section, saying, "Sit right here, OK? You don't have to be squeezed."
A security guard seemingly helped the boy move toward the stage as Martin insisted, "You don't have to be squished by all these adults. You sit right there my little brother… Better? Good."
"Chris tried to help the boy find a spot that wasn't crowded and offered him the best view possible," the TikToker wrote alongside the heartwarming moment.
Fans were impressed by the gesture, writing in the comment section, "I just love him" and "This was the best part of the night!"

Last year, the frontman created a similarly incredible moment for a 10-year-old fan named Leo, who was brought onto the stage so Martin could perform a personalized birthday song for him. It also happened to be his first ever concert.
Coldplay is currently performing a three-night set of their Music of the Spheres World Tourat Sydney's Accor Stadium, which will conclude on Sunday. Next, they will be seen in Auckland before taking a break for the holidays and returning to the stage in Abu Dhabi next year.
The band released their 10th studio album, Moon Music, last month to solid reviews. Their record-breaking tour has earned more than a billion dollars and sold more than 10 million tickets.
"One thing I'd say that we've become more comfortable with is just being ourselves," Martin told CBS Sunday Morning in September, adding that the group's most popular songs are "Yellow," "Viva La Vida" and "Fix You."
"The songs of ours that connected with most people, they connected with me first. I was like, 'Oh, this is really good,'" Martin told interviewer Anthony Mason, smiling.

The frontman, who shares children Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow and is engaged to actress Dakota Johnson, says he writes freeform every morning to "stay sane." Sometimes, he uses those thoughts to pen music.
He also knows he won't ever be able to stop performing.
"It's like asking an apple tree why does it make apples? That's 'cause that's what I was made to do," he told CBS. "And, also, I'm really happy doing it."
