When Coldplay took to the Pyramid Stage on June 29 at Glastonbury, they made history as the only band in the world to ever headline the festival for a fifth time.
Chris Martin and his indie rock bandmates also impressed crowds after they brought Michael J. Fox onto the stage with them. The actor played guitar with the group during the performance of their classic track “Fix You”.

Harvey, the band’s manager and creative director, is widely regarded as the fifth member of the group. Although he doesn’t perform on stage, Harvey’s relationship with Coldplay goes back to the late 90s, according to Client Earth. Harvey has been with the band from the time it was doing merch sales outside shows to becoming the global sensations it is today. In an interview, Harvey once said that his biggest achievement in the music business was “staying close with the guys”.

Born and raised in Southampton in the UK, like his bandmates, Champion met the group at University College London while studying anthropology. About the beginning of their musical journey together, Champion said in an interview with the BBC: “I remember in the first week or so people sitting around and playing music, and I remember specifically jamming with Chris.”
