Chris Martin urged the crowd to “send love” to Charlie Kirk’s family during Friday’s Wembley Stadium show.
“Let’s raise our hands like this and send love, anywhere you want to send it in the world,” Martin said in a video shared on TikTok.
“You can send this to your brother or your sister, you can send it to the families of people who have been going through terrible stuff, you can send it to Charlie Kirk’s family.”
Martin continued, “You can send it to people you disagree with, but you send them love anyway. You can send it to peaceful people in the Middle East, in Ukraine and Russia, Azerbaijan, and Sudan and Somalia. Anywhere that you think might need love from London.”
Martin then counted down and sent off that love with a fireworks display.

Aldean talked about his controversial 2023 single, “Try That in a Small Town.” At the time of its release, the song and its accompanying music video earned a bit of backlash, enough that the video was pulled out of the Country Music Television (CMT) network’s rotation.
“I remember when we put this song out, people like Charlie Kirk were some of the first people to come up and go, ‘That’s what it’s about. This country coming together, calling out the bulls— when we see it, trying to get everything back on track,'” Aldean said. “This guy wanted nothing more than what was best for all of us, and for our kids moving forward.”
He added, “Charlie is a guy that’s going to be very, very much missed, and this is something that his legacy is going to live on forever with Turning Point [USA] and what he’s done with only 31 years on this planet, it’s amazing.”

Every day, he would ask me, ‘How can I serve you better? How can I be a better husband? How can I be a better father?’ Every day, every day. He was such a good man. He still is a good man. He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband.”
