After Michael J. Fox joined Coldplay on stage during their headlining Glastonbury set, the band thanked the Back to the Future actor.
Two of the last three songs of Coldplay’s Glastonbury show were with Fox. First, he was shown on the screen during “The Jumbotron Song.” He then came out and played guitar with them for both “Humankind” and “Fix You.” The latter song featured a snippet of “Johnny B. Goode,” the song Fox plays in Back to the Future as Marty McFly.
The band posted a video from the Glastonbury show with Fox on X. In the caption, they thanked the legendary actor for joining them.
“Thank you Michael J. Fox for making our dream come true,” the caption read.
Additionally, Fox posted a pictures from his Glastonbury experience. He called the experience “f**king mind-blowing.” One of the pictures shows off a sign for him that says, “Coldplay special guest.”
“There is a time for every band and a band for every time,” Fox said. “This is @coldplay’s time.”
