Chris Martin tries a Romeo

Coldplay's Chris Martin climbed a balcony at a Hackney secret gig to hug Noel Gallagher, jumping down from a height of about fifteen feet to rejoin the band.

Chris Martin apparently risked possible injury at a gig recently whilst making grand gestures of affection towards Noel Gallagher. Spotting Gallagher on the balcony at the Round Chapel in Hackney, where Coldplay were playing a secret show, Martin climbed up and gave the Oasis star a great big hug. He was briefly stranded fifteen feet away from the rest of the band, but then stood on the edge of the balcony and jumped down. He didn’t damage himself, which is a good thing really, as that would have made him look a bit of a twit. If climbing up balconies to give girly hugs to Mancunian popstars didn’t make him look a bit of a twit already.
