Chris Martin Doesn’t Plan On Retiring Kiss Cam At Coldplay Shows After CEO Affair “Debacle”

Chris Martin doesn’t plan on ending the segment that went viral on social media after exposing an affair during one of Coldplay‘s shows.

During a recent stop at Kingston upon Hull in England, Martin addressed the “debacle” after inadvertently exposing an affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot on a jumbotron.

“You were at that Boston gig,” Martin said, according to Hull Live, after spotting a sign from a fan that stated they had attended three shows, including the infamous one in Boston. “Well, okay, thank you for coming again after that debacle.”

Martin noted that the band does not expect to retire the segment from their shows, adding, “We’ve been doing this a long time and it is only recently that it became a… yeah. Life throws you lemons and you’ve got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it because we are going to meet some of you.”

During every Coldplay show, they have a “Jumbotron Segment” where they feature concertgoers on a big screen as Martin improvises songs about them. During an appearance in the Boston area, the Jumbotron featured Byron and Cabot, who quickly tried to evade the camera. A fellow concertgoer shared the moment on social media, which wound up going viral. Social media users were able to track down the names of the Jumbotron protagonists, and it was later found out they were co-workers having an affair.

Byron and Cabot have since left Astronomer after being placed on leave. Amid the debacle, the tech company took on the opportunity to poke fun at the situation and hired Martin’s ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, as a temporary spokesperson for a cheeky video.
