A touching moment recently unfolded on Fly FM when Dave John, a 48-year-old father, called in to share a deeply moving message in memory of his late daughter, Jade Mikayla John.

As seen in an Instagram reel posted by the radio station, Dave phoned in and shared that his late daughter had always been a dedicated Coldplay fan, and was eagerly anticipating their live performance scheduled for Wednesday, 22 November.

Tragically, despite sharing her excitement with her parents for months, Jade passed away just two weeks before the highly anticipated concert.

The radio hosts, Ryan Howlett and Kavin Jay, then assured Dave that they would do their best to fulfil his heartfelt wish, which was for Coldplay to give a shoutout to his late daughter during one of their songs on the day of the concert.

“That’s wonderful, I appreciate it, guys. She would be looking down with a great big grin on her face, she’d be beaming from ear to ear,” Dave replied.

Speaking to SAYS, Dave shared his experience reaching out to Fly FM with the hope of spreading Jade’s story.

“The support from the radio team was immediate and very touching. I know the band checks their socials, and whilst it would be great for Jade to get a shoutout, what’s been more uplifting is the amount of love and support that she’s receiving online,” said Dave.

He went on to explain that initially, he didn’t know how to reach out to the band, and the radio station was his first choice to spread his message about his late daughter.

“I want to get a message to the band to see if they’d show a picture of Jade during one of their songs, she was a massive fan and the concert was supposed to be the highlight music event of her life,” he added.

Before her passing, Jade was on the verge of starting her studies at an internationally recognised bakery school.

Her dreams also included building a beautiful life with her would-be husband, Arvin, with plans to establish a bakery business in the UK.

“Jade was super talented and could turn her hand to making almost anything. She was a unique young lady who loved nothing more than using power tools whenever the chase arose and was way stronger than her size.

“She was a big fan of Coldplay’s music along with the members’ personalities. For her, Coldplay is the best of both, real in what they stood for and awesome with their music, she admired them on different levels. She loved Coldplay, really loved them,” Dave told SAYS.
