Michael J. Fox joined an iconic band on stage during their headline set at Glastonbury<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Festival<\/div>\n
Back to the Future<\/em> star Michael J.Fox made an unexpected appearance at Glastonbury Festival this weekend.<\/strong>The 63-year-old actor joined none other than\u00a0Coldplay<\/a> on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night (29 June).Fox<\/a>\u00a0was diagnosed with\u00a0Parkinson’s<\/a> aged just 29 in 1991, and subsequently retired from acting in 2020 due to his worsening symptoms.He has been extremely open about living with the disease, previously opening up on his\u00a0‘darkest moment’<\/a>\u00a0and how he\u00a0‘doesn’t fear death’<\/a>.Fox had the Glastonbury<\/a>\u00a0crowd in tears, as he joined the band on stage to play the guitar.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

But fans were left flawed when frontman Chris Martin revealed that the acting legend is partly the reason that Coldplay were formed.Addressing the masses, he said: \u201cThe main reason why we’re in a band is because of watching Back to the Future<\/em>, so thank you to our hero forever and one of the most amazing people on Earth, Mr Michael J. Fox.\u201cThank you so much, Michael.\u201dFox joined the band for their tear-jerking tracks ‘Fix You’ and ‘Humankind’ – which definitely became a magical moment for fans.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Michael J. Fox joined Coldplay for their Glastonbury set. (BBC)<\/cite>It seems as though there wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the field, and the same went for those watching at home.One viewer wrote: \u201cColdplay bringing out Michael J Fox, baaaaawling.\u201dAnother said: \u201cAm I crying in the middle of the night watching a Coldplay gig? I might, yes.\u201dA third added: \u201cMichael J Fox getting his moment at Glastonbury with Coldplay. What a legend.\u201d<\/div>\n

\n
\"Fans<\/div>\n

Fans absolutely loved the moment. (BBC)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Others branded it a \u2018very cool\u2019 moment.And this isn\u2019t the first time Fox has captured an audience, he had crowds in \u2018floods of tears\u2019 earlier this year when\u00a0he presented the BAFTA for \u2018Best Film\u2019<\/a>.In a moving speech, the actor said: \u201cThere’s a reason why they say movies are magic, because movies can change your day, they can change your outlook, they can sometimes even change your life.\u201dColdplay made history at this year’s Glastonbury Festival by becoming the first band to ever headline the Pyramid Stage five times.The British band made their Glastonbury debut in 1999, performing in the New Bands Tent – fast forward three years to them headlining the festival for the first time in 2002 and then again in 2005, 2011 and 2016.While Coldplay\u2019s set at Glastonbury is done and dusted, the festival is far from over.<\/div>\n

Michael J. Fox says he ‘doesn\u2019t fear death’ as he opens up on his health<\/h1>\n

The actor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 before opening up his research foundation in 2000Michael J. Fox has revealed he’s not afraid of death in a candid interview about his health.<\/strong>The\u00a0Back to the Future<\/em>\u00a0star was first\u00a0<\/span>diagnosed with Parkinson’s<\/a>\u00a0in 1991, and in a recent interview on Thursday (2 November), he has discussed his relationship with death, saying he ‘doesn’t fear it’.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n
\n
Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged.The main symptoms of the condition usually revolve around movement, with the person experiencing tremors in the hand or arm, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness.In his documentary, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie<\/em>, the star\u00a0recalled the first time he noticed the signs of the disease.<\/a>He recounted waking up one morning to find his pinky finger twitching uncontrollably, and described the finger as ‘auto-animated.’However, Fox<\/a> didn’t open up about his diagnosis until several years later in 1998.In the documentary, he also added that ‘no one outside of the family knew’ about his diagnosis.And now, in an interview with Town & Country, he’s discussed his ‘complicated’ view of Parkinson’s.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"Michael<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He said: “It\u2019s very complicated. I\u2019ve said Parkinson\u2019s is a gift. It\u2019s the gift that keeps on taking, but it has changed my life in so many positive ways.\u201dThe\u00a0Stuart Little\u00a0<\/em>star has been very candid in the past about how Parkinson’s has affected his life.The 62-year-old previously spoke about how life was ‘getting harder’ since his diagnosis –\u00a0with him breaking bones in his body and almost losing a finger due to an infection.<\/a>He’d told CBS Sunday Morning in April\u00a0that he didn’t think he’d live to be 80.<\/a>\u201c[Parkinson’s is] banging on the door. I\u2019m not gonna lie. It\u2019s gettin\u2019 hard, it\u2019s gettin\u2019 harder. It\u2019s gettin\u2019 tougher. Every day it\u2019s tougher. But, that\u2019s the way it is.” he said.Adding: “You don\u2019t die from Parkinson\u2019s. You die with Parkinson\u2019s. So I\u2019ve been thinking about the mortality of it \u2026 I\u2019m not gonna be 80. I\u2019m not gonna be 80.”However, it seems that Fox has accepted the possibility of death.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“One day I’ll run out of gas,” he said. \u201cOne day I\u2019ll just say, \u2018It\u2019s not going to happen. I\u2019m not going out today.\u2019”If that comes, I\u2019ll allow myself that. I\u2019m 62 years old.”Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn\u2019t be unheard of.<\/p>\n

“And so, no, I don\u2019t fear that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
