AmericaChris Martin of the band Coldplay joked that the audience could be recorded by Kiss Cam, amid an affair at a concert that has caused a fever in recent days.

According to Us Weekly, in the context of the scandal of the affair of two executives of the Astronomer company at the Music of the Spheres concert that is spreading across social networks, Chris Martin has an attention-grabbing reaction at the next concert in Wisconsin, on July 19. On X, an audience member filmed the artist reminding fans that the Kiss Cam (kiss camera) was about to start, and several people could appear on the big screen.

“We would like to say hello to some of the audience here. The way we do it is to use a camera to project some people on the big screen. Please, if you haven’t finished your makeup yet, finish it now,” Chris Marin said while playing guitar. Most of the people present at the concert laughed at his “warning”. Some accounts reshared the video, some people thought that this was the artist’s way of alluding to the case of Kiss Cam “unmasking” adultery.

Currently, the scandal of CEO Andy Byron and human resources director Kristin Cabot is a fever topic around the world. It all started during the group’s concert in Massachusetts on the evening of July 16. Usually, Kiss Cam shoots couples going together randomly in real time. The two chosen people can kiss each other. When the camera accidentally showed Mr. Byron hugging Ms. Cabot, the two quickly hid their faces, trying to hide from the camera.

At that time, people were unclear about the relationship between the two. Chris Martin joked: “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just shy.” After that, he expressed his regret, saying that he hoped he had done nothing wrong. The singer tried to defuse the situation by asking the next couple if they were a “legal couple”.

A viewer filmed the whole incident, posting it on TikTok about a day later. The video suddenly went viral after some people revealed the identities of Byron and Cabot, confirming they were “clumsy” with each other. Quoting some comments: “The probability of marriage and career falling apart in Coldplay’s concert is very low but it doesn’t mean zero”, “Thank you to the cameraman for recording them”.

Not long after, many news sites found out the marital status of the two, saying that Andy Byron, 50, has a wife and two children, and Ms. Cabot divorced in 2022. On July 18, a representative of the Astronomer company announced that it would investigate this relationship, temporarily dismissing the two. On July 19, the business announced that CEO Andy Byron had resigned, it is unclear whether Kristin Cabot will continue to hold the position.

“Astronomer is committed to maintaining the values and culture that have been oriented since its establishment. The company’s leaders are expected to set the standard of conduct and responsibility. Recently, that standard has not been met,” a spokesperson for the business told Us Weekly.
