Even for someone at the helm of one of the world’s most celebrated bands, life offstage isn’t always bright.
Chris Martin, frontman of Coldplay, recently took to Instagram with a heartfelt message about his ongoing battle with depression, offering fans a rare glimpse into the emotional challenges he faces and the tools that help him stay grounded.
Chris Martin opens up about depression and how he’s coping
Chris Martin shares mental health journey
The video, recorded after a concert in Hong Kong, shows Martin speaking candidly about his mental health.
“Hi, this is Chris from Coldplay. We’re in Hong Kong … I’ve noticed that some people lately, including myself, are struggling a little bit with depression,” he says.
“So I wanted to talk to you about some things that are helping me on tour and in life in general, in the hope that they can help you as well.”
He goes on to list personal strategies that have become essential in his wellness routine.
Among them is freeform writing, a technique he describes as simply writing thoughts for 12 minutes and discarding the paper.
“It’s really good for you,” he adds.
Another helpful practice for Martin has been transcendental meditation: “It’s been wonderful for me.”
Martin also touches on proprioception, a form of body movement he says helps balance the brain.
He references the Costello Method, developed by Jim Costello, as particularly useful for individuals with ADHD or autism.
“There’s a man named Jim Costello… which is very helpful especially for young people,”Martin says.
His recommendations don’t stop there.
Martin praises the book The Oxygen Advantage for its breathing techniques, music by Jon Hopkins, and the film Sing Sing, which he says “makes me very happy.”
He closes the video warmly: “These are some of the things that help me stay grateful and happy to be alive… I send you lots of love.”
Martin has spoken about mental health before, notably in a 2023 interview with NME, where he discussed how writing Coldplay’s latest album Moon Music helped him navigate dark times.
“My head tends to fill with so much negativity,” he shared.
“Music has been the place where I find a light.”
With Coldplay set to launch their UK tour this summer, Martin’s openness adds a personal layer to the band’s evolving message: finding joy even when it feels far away.
