BTS fans, known as ARMYs, were in for a treat at Coldplay's Mumbai concert on Saturday night as Chris Martin brought the house down with an electric performance of My Universe. For those who may not know, Coldplay collaborated with the Korean septet in 2021 for My Universe.

It was all yellow, but it was also purple! Chris Martin, the frontman of Coldplay, surprised the packed house at his Mumbai concert on Saturday night by performing his 2021 song My Universe, which is a collaboration with BTS.

Clips of Chris Martin wowing fans with the hit track have now gone viral on social media, and ARMYs are surprised to see the audience's reaction to the track. What really caught the attention of ARMYs was that the crowd was not just singing along to the English verse but also the Korean parts of the song. Many also wondered how music can bring people together, regardless of their language or cultural background, a belief BTS has always upheld.

As clips of Mumbai grooving and singing along to a BTS song hit the internet, fans are now saying that India is ready for a BTS concert. The desi ARMYs (Indian BTS fans) are over the moon to see their fellow countrymen embracing and enjoying a Korean song, even if it's just half of the track.

Coldplay's highly-anticipated India tour got off to a spectacular start in Mumbai on Saturday evening, with the Chris Martin-led band delivering a mesmerizing performance at the DY Patil Stadium. The crowd was treated to a musical extravaganza, with the band belting out their iconic hits like Fix You and A Sky Full of Stars that had the audience singing along in unison. The British band is slated to hold four more concerts in India across two cities.

In a recent interview, Chris Martin shared his enthusiasm for the band's collaboration with BTS on their hit song My Universe. He fondly recalled the experience, calling it "the most uplifting, natural collaboration," and expressed his deep admiration for the K-pop group's members.

He also joked that he's the 8th member of the boy band, saying, "Now we’re a boy band of seven really good-looking young Koreans and one old white guy, and it’s fine.”
