Coldplay Chaos: Chris Martin Stunned After CEO’s Scandalous Encounter Unfolds Onstage

Ever wondered what could possibly upstage a Coldplay show? Apparently, all it takes is one split-second, mildly awkward, ultra-cringe moment on the stadium’s Jumbotron for the Internet to collectively lose its mind—sorry, Chris Martin, even your “Fix You” falsetto can’t compete with this kind of drama . Imagine you’re vibing in the crowd, maybe slow dancing to “Yellow,” when suddenly—bam!—you’re immortalized on the big screen… only for the world to start dissecting whether you’re “having an affair or just very shy,” as Chris quipped with the deadpan accuracy of someone who’s seen one too many viral TikToks . I have to admit, there’s something wildly perfect about how the purest concert tradition spiraled into a social media fever dream—complete with CEO scandals, Internet detectives, and enough second-hand embarrassment to fuel a dozen awkward family dinners . Is this the universe’s way of telling us to double-check who we’re embracing in public, or just that Boston Coldplay gigs are a cosmic accident waiting to happen? Only the digital gods know for sure . Either way, strap in—this is one viral rabbit hole you don’t want to miss . LEARN MORE

Chris Martin had a hilarious reaction after capturing what ended up being a majorly viral moment on camera.

Coldplay were performing in Boston this week when the singer chatted and sang to audience members on the big screen.

But this sweet, innocent concert feature led to social media’s latest obsession being born (and turning into an absolute beast, to be fair).

You’ve surely seen it all over the place by now, but the camera ended up capturing tech CEO Andy Byron ‘with another woman’.

That’s as internet sleuths identified the Astronomer boss as the man in the viral clip, seen with his arms wrapped around the waist of a woman who, spoiler alert, doesn’t seem to be his wife.

And to be honest, the pair would have been absolutely fine if they hadn’t jumped apart and tried to hide.

It’s probably that rather dramatic and seemingly mortified reaction that led to Martin saying to the crowd: “Holy sh*t! I hope we didn’t do something bad.”

The ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’ singer then went on to allege: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Oooooffft.

And as the cameras carry on showing audience members at the Coldplay concerts (I mean, do their tours ever end?), Martin can be heard asking another couple: “Are you two a couple?

“Are you two a legitimate couple?”

Internet sleuths were quick to identify Andy Byron as the bloke in the viral video yesterday (17 July), with it being said that a fellow member of Astronomer’s leadership team was the woman in his arms.

She’s believed to be Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, who is reportedly divorced and not known to have remarried. Byron is married, but not to Cabot.

Neither of them have publicly addressed their new-found viral fame or confirmed that it’s definitely them.

But the CEO hasn’t shied away from praising her in the past as when she joined the company in her role in November 2024.

“Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,” he said in a statement at the time.

“She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.”

And in the same press release, Cabot said she was ‘energised’ in her ‘conversations with Andy’.

While we all wait for some kind of comment from someone involved (though let’s be real, will we ever get one?), fake statements are already doing the rounds, which Astronomer has slammed, according to TMZ.

LADbible has contacted Astronomer for comment.
