Chris Martin blames Olympics for forgetting lyrics during Boston gig

London, August 3 (ANI): Chris Martin recently forgot lyrics of one of his band's songs while performing at Boston and blamed the London Olympics for it.

The 35-year-old singer messed up the opening of 'Warning Sign' at a concert at the weekend and swiftly told his fans that he had gotten distracted.

"Oh s***. I was thinking about the Olympics. I was distracted. I was not in the break-up frame of mind and I should have been," the Sun quoted him as saying.

"I'm going to get back into it. I'm going to stop thinking about pole vault, things like that, and I'm going to focus back in on the song. So is everybody else.

"It's a big deal, man. We've never had the Olympics in our lifetime so you can't blame a band for thinking about it every once in a while - 'God, the f***ing Olympics are happening in London!'" he said.

However, the Coldplay frontman then tried to steer the show back on track.

"What's more important is the best concert in the world is happening right here, right now, so we'd better carry on.

"F*** the Olympics. Let's have a f***ing great time in Boston," he said.

However, after restarting the track, Martin who will be performing with his band at the closing ceremony of the Paralympics - immediately regretted his final remarks.

He paused the song and said: "Please don't tweet that I said: 'F*** the Olympics'"

"I didn't mean that. Please don't turn it into a news story, whatever you do, because we're going to play the end of it. Don't tweet that either! S***, I'm in a big mess now," he added. (ANI)
