Coldplay Kiss Cam Exposes Astronomer CEO, HR Chief in Boston

During a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston, a kiss cam segment unexpectedly exposed a potential affair between Andy Byron, CEO of the tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer. Both Byron and Cabot, who are married to other people, appeared mortified as they tried to avoid the spotlight, with Byron ducking behind a barrier and Cabot turning away. Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman, humorously commented on the situation from the stage, initially suggesting they might be shy before joking, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," and later expressing regret with, "Oh shit, I hope we didn't do something bad." The video quickly went viral worldwide, sparking public scrutiny of Byron's behavior, especially since Astronomer is a highly valued company with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. Following the incident, Byron's wife reportedly removed his surname from her social media profiles amid the viral attention. The episode added an unexpected, controversial highlight to Coldplay's concert, which also featured charitable efforts for grassroots music venues.
