Coldplay’s lead singer didn’t hold back from unleashing his cheekiness at the band’s first concert since potentially outing former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s HR Head Kristin Cabot’s alleged affair at the previous Boston gig. The 48-year-old playfully warned the crowd in attendance at the Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, and the chances of them being featured on the show’s kiss cam.

This comes directly after the infamously remembered concert had turned the camera to film the pair during what seemed like a romantic moment between Byron and Cabot, and ultimately flashed them on the jumbotron. The unlikely duo ended up attaining unwitting viral fame as social media erupted with re-shares of their embarrassing Coldplay concert moment, while otherwise being married to their respective partners, fuelling speculations of infidelity.

“We’ like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,” he said. “How we’re going to do that is we’re going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen,” Martin quipped mischievously.

The English singer’s latest remark follows a fake a statement from the “Paradise” hit-making band having gone viral. A parody post initially pushed around by netizens on X suggested that Coldplay had decided to drop the whole kiss cam scenario at their concerts to prioritise people’s privacy.

For the unversed, Chris’ playful spin on the Andy Byron-Kristin Cabot ‘kiss cam’ embarrassment comes hot on the heels of him supposedly exposing the Astronomer execs’ extra-marital affair. During the now-viral camera grab, the ex-CEO of the New York-based tech firm instantly ducked out of the frame upon realising that their cuddling had been caught on cam. Meanwhile, Kristin Cabot quickly covered her face and turned back to the lens.

“Oh look at these two!” the Coldplay lead singer joked at the time. “Oh what? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.” As it turns out, Martin seemed to have indeed hit the nail on the head with his deduction at the Gillette Stadium in Boston.

In the aftermath of the scandal breaking out, Andy Byron has stepped down from his post. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the company confirmed in a statement. Officials have since appointed Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as the interim CEO. Meanwhile, Kristin Cabot, the HR chief, has been put on leave, while more updates on her status are awaited.
