Michael J. Fox Skips Hamptons Biden Fundraiser to Play Guitar with Coldplay in Glastonbury

Share

Lots of celebs in the Hamptons today for a Biden-Harris fundraiser.

The hosts were Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, and Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan. Howard Stern was among the guests.

But one of the host couples was absent. That was Fox and Pollard.

It’s not like they’re not supporting Joe Biden — they are — but Fox had some pressing business overseas.

Seems that the “Back to the Future” star took the stage at the Glastonbury Music Festival to play guitar with Coldplay.

Which event would you choose?

Fox, a long time Parkinson’s advocate, has guest-starred with Coldplay in the past. This time he arrived on stage in a wheelchair. But that didn’t stop him from wailing away with Coldplay on a couple of numbers. How cool is that?

Fox showed off his guitar prowess in the 80s in “Back to the Future.” He’s played with Joan Jett and Bruce Springsteen. He’s inveterate music fan, showing up last year at Springsteen shows. The music obviously drives him.

Michael J. Fox is beyond an inspiration for anyone dealing with neuromuscular diseases. Nothing stops him, and nothing will. Rock on, Michael!
