On 29 June (Saturday), the retired actor Michael J. Fox joined Coldplay on stage at the popular Glastonbury music festival.
It’s not the first time the ‘Teen Wolf’ actor appeared with the rock band. Back in 2016, he amazed the world by performing with the band on the Chuck Berry song, ‘Johnny B. Goode’ featured in ‘Back to the Future’ at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
As he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease since 1991, he appeared in a wheelchair and entertained the fans by playing guitar. At that time, the band performed on their two megahits, ‘Humankind’ and ‘Fix You.’ Fans were thrilled with his presence and highly appreciated his performance.
