Chris Martin, the frontman of Coldplay, recently shared a candid message about his ongoing battle with depression, offering fans a rare glimpse into the emotional challenges he faces even amidst the glitz of global performances.
In a heartfelt Instagram video recorded after a concert in Hong Kong, Martin addressed the issue head-on. He acknowledged that, despite the success and adoration, he and others are “struggling a little bit with depression.”
Martin didn’t just stop at sharing his struggles; he offered insights into the practices that help him cope.
Martin also touches on proprioception, a form of body movement he says helps balance the brain.
He references the Costello Method, developed by Jim Costello, as particularly useful for individuals with ADHD or autism.
This is not the first instance when Martin has openly talked about dealing with the struggles of everyday life. After his 11-year marriage to Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow came to an end in 2014, Martin spoke about how difficult it was to start over again.
Martin’s openness serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of discussing mental health. His message resonates with many, offering hope and solidarity to those facing similar challenges.
With Coldplay set to launch their UK tour this summer, Martin’s openness adds a personal layer to the band’s evolving message: finding joy even when it feels far away.
