Michael J. Fox Warms Hearts During Rare Public Appearance As Guitarist On Stage With Coldplay

Few movie moments are as iconic as when Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly takes the stage in Back to the Future and absolutely rips Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode." Although Parkinson's Disease has taken its toll on Fox in the ensuing years, he's done worlds of good for funding research and raising awareness about the debilitating condition, and continues to persevere with positivity and courage. Fox is mostly out of the limelight these days, so when he makes a surprise appearance on a huge stage like this, it's innately captivating no matter what. Never mind that thousands upon thousands of people were assembled to see Coldplay at the Glastonbury Festival for this particular occasion. A Coldplay concert creates enough of a spectacle in and of itself. Adding Michael J. Fox to the mix lifts the scene to a whole other stratosphere. https://twitter.com/BTTFmusical/status/1807348616429789526 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-94LhhQTs What a cool intro here by Chris Martin. Also love how he sprinkles in some "Johnny B. Goode" lyrics when Fox starts playing on that musical interlude. You can see that in this more succinct clip here: https://twitter.com/StigAbell/status/1807298765604155666 Given how difficult it is for Fox to move around these days, the climactic moment of this whole performance is when he does that leg kick. The crowd just went nuts. Being there in person for this must've been absolutely incredible. Add in the fact that "Fix You" tends to be a tear-jerker of a song, and I'm sure there weren't many dry eyes in the house by the time this was over. It's almost too much to process or be super articulate about right now for me. I wasn't even there! Sheesh. As far as creative projects go, Fox most recently was the subject of the documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie . This guest spot with Coldplay only makes me want to check that out even more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHgMSR4F1Ak
