Nigel Crisp is a pseudonym and alter ego of Chris Martin, first making an appearance in a viral video of him singing karaoke in a Las Vegas bar on September 21, 2024[1] to promote Coldplay's upcoming track 'All My Love'. He appears to be a awkward character with a kind and caring personality.
Nigel has stated that he spends his summers working at Madame Tussauds blowing cool air on the wax statues with a hairdryer. He's also stated that he is a busker who performs "all around"[2]. He's most commonly known to carrying around red balloons (usually in a cluster) and gifting them to strangers.
Nigel has also appeared in some of the band's music videos for tracks from their 2024 album 'Moon Music', along with various TV appearances and promotional material. He is credited as director of the music video for All My Love, but not for the Directors' Cut version.
