Famous celebrity good guy Chris Martin recently gave a woman with a “dodgy hip” a lift to his show, adding to a string of kind and considerate acts the famous frontman has performed for his fans over the years.
Performing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend music festival, Martin was on his way to the artist’s area in a black Mercedes when he saw a woman leaning against a fence.
The woman, 64-year-old Saundra Glenn, suffers from osteoarthritis and a “dodgy right hip.” She was walking to the box office for an accessibility ticket when she decided to rest for a moment.
In her own words she “doesn’t do festivals” and had considered going home to watch the show on television.
Then, a woman in the Mercedes that just pulled up suggested Glenn accept her offer for a lift.
“The door opens and I said, ‘oh that’s Chris Martin, I can’t get in with him’ and they said ‘yes you can,’” she recalled to the BBC.
Inside, Glenn recalls the atmosphere as chatty, as if she and the celebrity were “two old women.”
Glenn further joked that the car ride was worth the price of admission, saying “I’m 64 Chris, I don’t do festivals, I’ve come just to see you and now I’ve seen you and I can go home.”
After they arrived in the artists’ area, Martin ensured that a golf cart was found to take Glenn to the box office, a moving gesture that deeply impacted her.

At the festival, Martin debuted his new song Orange, a tribute of sorts to his hometown soccer team Luton Town, which having just spent a dream season at the highest levels of English football, was relegated earlier this month to spend next season in a lower division.
Telling her story to BBC Radio, she said Martin was “such a nice man.”

In December, GNN reported on another fan who was treated to a show of Chris Martin kindness, when a wheelchair-bound Irishman managed to crowd surf in his chair all the way to the front row where Martin instructed him to be carried on stage.
There, he handed the man a harmonica, and they performed a little duet together.
