A Coldplay concert in Greece hit the pause button after a man draped in an Israeli flag fell while trying to rush the stage … just one of the various gestures from the pro-Israel crowd.
Footage has surfaced from Coldplay’s gig in Athens this week — and it shows front man Chris Martin pausing in the middle of a song as a guy wrapped in an Israeli flag climbs onto a set of lights along the edge of the stage … before suddenly falling hard on his ass.
Chris tells his band to stop immediately … then, he and guitarist Johnny Buckland rush over and peer down into the depths below the stage — checking to see if the dude is alright.
Israeli comedian Guy Hochman came forward and ID’d himself as the man who took a tumble — posting a photo of himself with the flag at the concert … and saying he got busted pretty bad as a result of the fall … even breaking a rib.
Hochman says he could smell Chris’ sweat and was almost on the stage — and yes, he was trying to bring attention to the war in the Middle East … as were others at the show.
While Hochman’s Israel demonstration came up painfully short … many in the Coldplay crowd chanted to bring home hostages from Gaza — and there was video posted to that effect.
At one point, the arena broke out into “bring them home” chants … so yeah, there was definitely a pro-Israel presence there.
Coldplay had two concerts at Olympic Stadium in Athens before taking their show to Romania … Saturday’s was chock full of celebs, and Sunday’s featured the Israel demonstrations.
