Chris Martin and Coldplay were forced to cancel a show in Houston last Friday, as Hurricane Harvey prepared to unleash its fury on Texas. As reported by Ace Showbiz Coldplay, and a host of other artists, canceled shows in Houston as Harvey approached. The British band said that Harvey would put” fans safety at risk,” and as a result, they canceled the show. It is not yet known whether Coldplay will be able to reschedule the show when the situation in Houston improves. As things stand, who knows when Houston will be ready to host rock concerts again.
Celebrities are rarely slow when it comes to sharing their thoughts on disasters, and Hurricane Harvey is a disaster of epic proportions. With Harvey still dumping record rainfall on Houston, with thousands made homeless, and with the danger to life still present, Coldplay chose a concert in Miami to play a new song as a tribute to Houston.
