Chris Martin isn't done making viral moments out of his latest tour.
The Coldplay frontman, who is midway through the group's Music of the Spheres world tour, provided an assist for a superfan hoping to propose during an Aug. 22 concert.
A video posted to TikTok shows the fan holding up a sign reading "I want to propose to her" with an arrow pointing down at his girlfriend. The pair, on the band's now-infamous jumbotron, waited excitedly as Martin addressed them.

"My brother, I need you to nod because I do some very basic security checks," the "Yellow" singer quipped. "Is this person your partner? No one else's partner?"
His comments are a nod to a scandal that engulfed the internet earlier this year, in which the CEO of a major data company was caught on the band's kiss-cam with a woman who was not his wife. The plot thickened once internet sleuths discovered that the woman was the head of HR at the company.
The moment, which quickly went viral, saw the pair duck to hide their faces from the camera, setting off alarm bells and becoming instant fodder for online chatter.
Martin went on to run the soon-to-be-engaged couple through a few other mock scenarios, jokingly confirming they weren't cousins or AI-generated.
The Coldplay concert affair captivated the internet. But is it time to move on?
He then shifted tones, singing out to the now teary-eyed couple: "My beautiful brother, here is some advice for free. As we all look on and see you go down, I advise you to get down on one knee."
The man then knelt to propose and was greeted with an enthusiastic kiss and affirmative answer from his partner.
"Congratulations, my brother and my sister," Martin crooned in the background. "What a beautiful girl. What a wonderful guy. On a day like this, I encourage you to kiss. I hope you're happy until the day that you die."
The tender moment was just the latest in a series of crowd-centric highlights from the group's multi-stadium tour. The band, which is behind a number of the most popular love songs of the last few decades, often spotlights couples in the stands.
