Chris Martin<\/a> is sending love to Charlie Kirk’s<\/a> family and encouraged fans at a recent show to do the same.<\/p>\n During the Music of the Sphere World Tour’s<\/a> final stop in London, the Coldplay frontman told attendees to spread and share love, including to the conservative influencer, following his assassination.<\/p>\n “Let’s raise our hands like this and send love anywhere you wanna send it in the world, and there are so many places that might need it today,” Martin said onstage at Wembley Stadium, according to social media video footage<\/a> and a report in Deadline<\/a>. “So, here it comes from London. You can send this to your brother or sister, you can send it to the families of people who have been going through terrible stuff.”<\/p>\n “You can send it to Charlie Kirk\u2019s family, you can send it to anybody\u2019s family,” the musician 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 and Ukraine and Russia and Azerbaijan and Sudan and London, anywhere you think might need love from London. Here it comes.”<\/p>\n Kirk, 31, was killed while speaking on Wednesday, Sept. 10, at\u00a0Utah Valley University<\/a>\u00a0in Orem, Utah, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. Two days later, the suspected shooter was publicly identified by authorities as\u00a022-year-old Tyler Robinson<\/a>, who was taken into custody Thursday night, Sept. 11, more than 24 hours after Kirk’s killing.<\/p>\n Prosecutors are expected to formally file charges against Robinson at his first court appearance on Tuesday, Sept. 16, according to Christopher Ballard of the Utah County Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\nShooter in the killing of Charlie Kirk identified<\/h2>\n
