An Israeli teenager was brought on stage by Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin to play guitar in front of 50,000 fans at a concert in Brussels, Belgium.
The 15-year-old, named only as Gili in Hebrew-language media, arrived at the concert on Monday night equipped with a large sign featuring a request to join the band on stage, and amazingly, her dreams were realized.
Martin, spotting the teen’s sign in the audience, invited her on stage to perform the band’s song “Green Eyes,” asking the crowd to “please welcome Gili, like a rockstar.”
Gili was greeted on stage with a warm embrace by the global superstar, to the cheers of a packed King Baudouin Stadium.
With her headphones on and guitar in hand, Gili appeared calm and collected as she confidently played Coldplay’s 2002 hit “Green Eyes.”
