From the recent Coldplay concert, a video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot went viral. They were caught hugging each other on kisscam and immediately ducked for cover. It became extremely controversial as they were both married to different people and were having an affair. This incident prompted Andy Byron to resign from the company. The news was confirmed by the US tech company on LinkedIn.

The post read: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.'
When the camera was zoomed onto them, they moved away in embarrassment. This prompted Chris Martin say, 'Either too shy' or 'having an affair.' He then regretted his statement and shared, 'I hope we didn't do something bad.'
The controversy also prompted Andy's wife Megan Kerrigan drop his name from her social media account.
