'I'm happy that you're here with us': Watch Chris Martin sing birthday song for 10-year-old on stage

One child celebrated reaching double digits in the most memorable way imaginable.
At Coldplay's Vancouver concert on Saturday, frontman Chris Martin gifted a boy named Leo with an original song in honor of his 10th birthday.
The singer brought the child and presumably his mother on stage at BC Place Stadium with a crowd of thousands.
"Leo, I'm so happy that you're sitting with me. It's your very first concert, it's 2023," Martin sang with his usual stunning vocals. "I'm happy that you're here with us, with me and my band of men. I can't think of a better place to be when you turn 10."

The "Sky Full of Stars" singer skillfully made lyrics rhyme further impressing Leo and the audience. He thanked the child for showing up to the concert by referencing many stars he could have decided to see including Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
"You could go see Justin Bieber. He's much more sexy than me. Or you can go see Ed Sherran. He can do crazy things you see," Martin sang. "You can go and see Jay Z. You can go see Taylor Swift or you can go see Beyoncé. She's really God's best gift."
Video posted on the band's social media shows Martin sitting next to Leo at the piano, occasionally pausing as he cobbles together a few verses for a cheering crowd.
"Send my love to your sisters I hope they're having a day in heaven. Make sure you come back to see us when you turn eleven," Martin sang. "Oh, Leo Leo Leo thanks for being here today. Oh, Leo Leo Leo I hope we blow you away. Thanks, my brother Leo for coming to see Coldplay."
