Coldplay frontman Chris Martin clocks in for shift at homeless charity’s coffee shop

COLDPLAY frontman Chris Martin clocks in for a shift at a charity’s coffee shop.

Chris, 46, served drinks and cakes with other volunteers at homeless charity Crisis’ branch in Finsbury Park, North London.

Chris, who is dating Fifty Shades actress Dakota Johnson, 34, volunteers with the homelessness charity regularly and usually puts a shift in at the warehouse every Christmas.

But this year the charity asked him to volunteer in the shop instead because they already had enough people sorting donations behind the scenes.

Pictures showed him smiling behind the counter with fellow volunteers on Saturday afternoon.

He wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words Love Is The Drug - the title of British band Roxy Music’s iconic 1975 single.

Crisis chief executive Matt Downie called the singer a “treasured, long-standing ­volunteer and supporter” and “one of the nicest people you could hope to meet”.

He told The Sun: “We’re immensely grateful to Chris for giving his valuable time today to volunteer at our Shop from Crisis Finsbury Park store, where he helped make our customers’ Christmas shopping extra special.

“All our volunteers, whether new to Crisis or longstanding ones like Chris, play a crucial role in our mission to end homelessness.

“Next week we’ll be mobilising a unique volunteering effort as we open our Christmas services to support over 7,000 people facing homelessness across Great Britain, at one of the toughest times of the year.”
