Chris Martin sings about 'completely insane Manila traffic' at Coldplay concert

MANILA, Philippines — Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has more to say about Manila's traffic as the British singer did an impromptu song about it in their band's second day of concert in the country last night.

"Oh we can't wait to play Manila again but the traffic here is completely insane," goes Chris as seen in various clips uploaded on social media on Sunday. 

Chris and his band Coldplay staged their two-night "Music of the Spheres" concert last Friday and Saturday in Philippine Arena in Bulacan. 

"There is only really one thing that remains. The traffic here in Manila is completely insane. 

"If you wanna drive somewhere then I'm warning you. A 2-mile drive will take a week or two. If you wanna get back home in time for your bath, well, allow yourself about a year and a half," sang Chris. 

He repeated what seemed to be its chorus, and stressed that the song will never be played again. 

"Oh we can't wait to play Manila again but the traffic here is completely insane. Oh we can't wait to play Manila again but the traffic here is completely insane. 

"Okay, that's never gonna be played again," the British singer said.

"Thank you to all of you for coming through the traffic. Holy sh*t!" said the singer on Friday. 

"I think... We've seen some traffic, but I think you have the number one [worst traffic] in the world. So, thank you, thank you for making the effort to come through all that bulls**t to be here!" Chris exclaimed.

The Presidential Security Group on Saturday released a statement that addressed the controversy surrounding the president's use of the helicopter to attend the concert last Friday. 

PSC Commander MGen. Nelson Morales said that the traffic caused by 40,000
