Back to the Future star Michael J.Fox made an unexpected appearance at Glastonbury Festival this weekend.
The 63-year-old actor joined none other than Coldplay on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night (29 June).
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's 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 'darkest moment' and how he 'doesn't fear death'.
Fox had the Glastonbury crowd in tears, as he joined the band on stage to play the guitar.
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: āThe main reason why we're in a band is because of watching Back to the Future, so thank you to our hero forever and one of the most amazing people on Earth, Mr Michael J. Fox.

āThank you so much, Michael.ā
Fox joined the band for their tear-jerking tracks 'Fix You' and 'Humankind' - which definitely became a magical moment for fans.

It seems as though there wasnāt a dry eye in the field, and the same went for those watching at home.

One viewer wrote: āColdplay bringing out Michael J Fox, baaaaawling.ā
Another said: āAm I crying in the middle of the night watching a Coldplay gig? I might, yes.ā
A third added: āMichael J Fox getting his moment at Glastonbury with Coldplay. What a legend.ā

Others branded it a āvery coolā moment.
And this isnāt the first time Fox has captured an audience, he had crowds in āfloods of tearsā earlier this year when he presented the BAFTA for āBest Filmā.
In a moving speech, the actor said: āThere'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.ā
Coldplay 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 Coldplayās set at Glastonbury is done and dusted, the festival is far from over.
Tonight (30 June) SZA will headline the Pyramid Stage for the first time.
