Hyderabad: Live concerts are always full of energy, fun, and unforgettable moments. People love attending with their friends or partners, dancing to their favorite songs, and enjoying the magic of seeing artists perform live. But sometimes, a fun night can take a shocking turn just like it did at a recent Coldplay concert.
On July 16, during a sold-out show at Gillette Stadium, one moment caught on camera went from sweet to scandalous and it involved the CEO of a billion-dollar company.
As Coldplay’s singer Chris Martin interacted with the crowd, the stadium’s “Kiss Cam” focused on a man and woman hugging each other. The crowd expected a kiss but instead, both people looked nervous and tried to hide.
Chris noticed their reaction and joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” not knowing how serious things would get.
The couple was later identified as Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of HR. Both are married but not to each other. The video spread quickly online, with millions of views and harsh comments. People used Coldplay lyrics to mock the moment, saying things like “Lights didn’t guide Andy home.”
Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, removed his last name from her Facebook and then deleted her account. Astronomer hasn’t said anything about the incident. Byron even deleted his LinkedIn profile.
What started as a fun night out turned into a huge internet scandal and Coldplay’s concert became the stage for a drama no one saw coming.
