Radio hosts' wild theory about why international superstars keep falling through trapdoors on Melbourne stages - after Chris Martin and Olivia Rodrigo mishaps went viral

In Melbourne, Australia, Chris Martin of Coldplay fell through a trapdoor during a concert on a sold-out night of their Music of the Spheres tour. This incident followed a similar mishap involving Olivia Rodrigo weeks prior in the same city. Jackie 'O' Henderson and Kyle Sandilands, radio hosts, speculated on their show Monday about a possible connection between the two incidents, suggesting a lack of experienced stage management could be to blame. Their theory was humorously backed by Kyle's suggestion that interns could have replaced the regular stage crew. A professional stage manager, Ryan, provided insight into the situation, explaining that the local crew often follows instructions from a remote stage manager who orchestrates various cues. Ryan indicated that mistakes could occur if improper communication happens between the stage manager and crew members. Videos captured by concertgoers show the audience's shock as Martin stumbled after falling through the opening, but he quickly reassured fans that it was unplanned. Despite the fall, Martin continued the performance without reported injuries, showcasing the unexpected nature of live events and the importance of effective staging protocols in concerts.
