Chris Martin breaks silence after kiss cam CEO saga
Share this @internewscast.com

Coldplay’s Chris Martin issued fans a warning at his first concert since a kiss cam at his band’s previous gig revealed a CEO and his subordinate getting close.

The frontman, 48, gave the crowd at the Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin a heads up that they might end up featured on screens at the show.

‘We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,’ Martin said.

‘How we’re going to do that is we’re going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.’

The warning followed the incident where former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot were seen embracing when a Jumbotron camera focused on them during a song.

The colleagues abruptly covered their faces, with Byron diving out of view and Cabot turning her back to the camera. 

But despite their efforts to avoid the limelight, their apparent awkwardness caught Martin’s attention.

‘Oh look at these two!’ the singer said mischievously as they spun around. ‘Oh what? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.’

The camera stayed trained on the pair, while an astonished woman stood next to them appeared to laugh uncontrollably at the uncomfortable situation.

The moment at Boston’s Gillette Stadium quickly went viral and prompted an internet frenzy.

Public records suggest both Byron, 50, and Cabot, 56, are married – but that they live at different addresses to each of their spouses registered abodes. 

The controversy grew so large that Byron even stepped down from his role after Astronomer launched an investigation.

The company provides generative AI software to a number of major companies including Uber, Ford and LinkedIn.

In a statement announcing Byron’s departure, Astronomer addressed the controversy.

‘As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,’ it read.

‘Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

‘While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. 

‘We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.’

Byron heaped praise on Cabot in a November 2024 post about her appointment to the firm.

‘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.

‘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.’

Byron became CEO in 2023, and the startup rapidly grew under his tenure including a reported 292 per cent growth in revenue for its ‘Astro’ platform that year.

The startup has been valued at over $1 billion, and last week Byron appeared on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) TV to celebrate the company.

He has been replaced by Peter DeJoy as interim CEO.
