Chris Martin halts Melbourne concert midway for a fan to propose marriage on-stage

Melbourne: The audience of the Melbourne’s A Head full of Dreams concert of Coldplay got more than they had expected when the band’s frontman Chris Martin paused the concert midway to let a fan propose marriage to his girlfriend.

Thanks to Martin, the award for the ‘proposal of the year’ will go to Lonardo Tanno, 31, for popping the question to his girlfriend, Felicia Lie, 26, on the stage of Coldplay.

But not all went down as planned. Martin accidentally invited the wrong woman on the stage and was left a little embarrassed.

Asking her to leave Martin said, “What the (expletive) are you doing here?”

Soon after, Felicia Lie came on the stage and all was as planned. Tears rolling down, Lonardo Tanno said, “So for the past three years, thank you for your love. Thank you for giving me a chance.”

While Tanno was about to complete his speech, the crowd was heard crying out, “Get on your knee,” which Tanno did.

“So in the midst of Coldplay, my new best friend Chris, and all the people here in Melbourne I just want to say I love you. Will you marry me?"

By telling the groom to not take too long since the ‘people have to catch trains’, Chris Martin lightened the mood.

However, it was not long before Felicia Lie accepted the proposal.

“I was surprised – I guess it was a mixture of disbelief and happiness”, Lie said, speaking to Daily Mail Australia.

“He is definitely invited to our wedding – although I know he has a very busy schedule”, she added.

Here is a video of how it all went down:
