Coldplay frontman Chris Martin recently picked up a new and original version of Banksy‘s so-called The Healing Balloon. It appeared on a wall in Brooklyn as a part of the famed Brit’s “Better Out Than In” street residency in New York before making its way to Basel Week in Miami back in December.

Martin paid $650,000 USD for it. The proceeds will go to charity as it was sold in Beverly Hills as part of Sean Penn's Help Haiti Home Gala.
