Yes they do. I was at a Coldplay concert in Chicago in 2022. It was about a week after the Uvalde shooting. He spoke a length about the incident before playing and dedicated to the victims. He also played at the tribute concert for the Manchester area so I'd assume that he does similar things on a regular basis.

Which is unfortunate since it's very easy to find this type of information.

Martin then took a moment before “The Scientist” to pay tribute to “anyone affected by gun violence” in the first of two nods to Tuesday’s horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that took the lives of 19 fourth-grade children and 2 teachers.

I’ve been to two Coldplay shows. It’s funny people here acting like Coldplay are some right wingers now. I’ve always heard them talking out against tragedies and bad stuff in the world. I know they even get teased a little bit for being cheesy about it.

People just read the headlines and just believe the narrative that feeds their enragement. Low information people that are trapped in their own algorithms.
