Before performing their classic song Fix You, Martin invited fans to raise their hands and “send love anywhere you want in the world,” emphasizing kindness even toward people with different beliefs and perspectives.
During his message, Martin mentioned sending love to commentator Charlie Kirk’s family, as well as to those experiencing hardship around the world. He included regions affected by conflict and encouraged the audience to keep hope and peace in mind. Some attendees responded positively to the inclusive message, praising the band’s call for empathy, while others expressed mixed feelings about the specific reference on social media.
