Coldplay frontman Chris Martin may be one of the most prominent musicians in the world due to the impact he brought to his fans, but that doesn't mean he couldn't gush over someone he considers a big inspiration to him. More recently, the singer expressed his love and support for Kylie Minogue and recalled their first meeting.
TIME magazine named Kylie Minogue one of the 100 most influential people of 2024, and Martin wrote her profile to celebrate the big honor.
In the essay, the musician said the Australian pop superstar was one of the first people from television that he met in person.
"I had watched her in Neighbours every day for a decade. So when she came to an early Coldplay show, I'd already been her fan for nearly 15 years," he wrote.
