Coldplay Play First-Ever Show Without Guy Berryman After Bassist ‘Taken Ill Unexpectedly’ Before Melbourne Gig


Coldplay played their first-ever show without Guy Berryman after the bassist was too ill to perform at Wednesday night's (Oct. 30) show in Melbourne.

But on Wednesday night (Oct. 30) in Melbourne, Australia the group did something they’ve never done in their entire quarter century run together: they played a show without one of their four founding members. Instead, Martin revealed that the band’s co-producer and engineer, Bill Rahko, would be subbing in while wearing on the signature space helmets that are part of the eye-popping spectacle that has criss-crossed the globe for nearly three years to date, grossing more than $1 billion. before taking time off and re-booting the tour in January with gigs in the United Arab Emirates and India on their way to wrapping up the outing with a 10-night stand at Wembley Stadium in London.
