Chris Martin responds to supermarket manager who accused him of stealing

Singer Chris Martin is opening up about the time his former boss at a supermarket accused him of stealing on his first day at the job.

Martin, who is the lead singer of Coldplay, may be a big name in the music industry now but the incident from 1990’s is still stuck with him as his manager accused him of swiping £30 on his first day of work at Kwik Save.

In a chat with the BBC Radio 2, the Paradise crooner said: “I used to work at a supermarket called Kwik Save in the late 1990’s… I don’t drink or smoke or do the lottery so they put me on the alcohol and cigarette counter where they sell scratch cards and it somewhat put me off.”

“Only my manager would remember me from then, he accused me of stealing on my first day,” he went on to say.

“He said the till was £30 down and not to let it happen again – and I didn’t gosh darn it. I didn’t steal it – I’d like to go on record,” he added.
