The kiss cam panned over several couples watching the Coldplay concert, until it caught Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot red-handed in the scandalous act, sparking an awkward atmosphere from the audience and band alike. Coldplay's lead singer jokingly pointed out that they were either "shy" or "having an affair."
While the live interaction captured a cringeworthy moment, it generated buzz on social media, resulting in a flood of memes, content, public shaming posts, and the creation of a mini pixel-art game called Coldplay Canoodlers by game developer and music artist, Johnathan Mann.

Mann took to X (formerly known as Twitter) with a message:
"I vibe coded a little game called Coldplay Canoodlers."
He added, "You're the camera operator and you have to find the CEO and HR lady canoodling. 10 points every time you find them."
His viral post was followed by a link to the game.
The game was shared by many renowned media outlets, including Dexerto, Forbes, Kotaku, and more. X posts that included Coldplay Canoodlers generated millions of views across several platforms, such as TikTok and X.
Shocked by the traffic it generated, Mann expressed his excitement on the same platform, reposting posts featuring his game. He said, "It's like all over TikTok good lord" and added that Dexerto's post garnered more than eight million views.

People who are happy about the death of one of Mohamed Ramadan's team members break their quiet and send him a touching message. Mohamed Ramadan, who looked deeply sad, said, "I'm sorry for Hossam's family's loss." God should forgive him and give him a place in heaven. He should also be patient with his family and friends and heal those who are hurt. As soon as I saw what was going on, I stopped the music and went down to help people and make sure they could get out so that another accident or crowding wouldn't happen. In a message to those who were bragging, he said, "I'm mad at people who talk badly." This man met God while he was dying for his work. You don't just sit there and write, "I'm going to hell or heaven." A kind word is given. "Shut up if you don't have anything nice to say." He said he would stay at the event site until he was sure everyone had left safely. He ended by praying, "May God have mercy on him again and give him a place in heaven." I feel bad for his dad and his family. Mohamed Ramadan's show at Porto Golf Marina on the North Coast was rocked by tragedy when a member of the fireworks crew died in an explosion on stage. Ramadan stopped the concert right away, which shocked the crowd. From the stage, he said, "I have to end the concert because someone died and someone else was seriously hurt." Even though something happened, Ramadan stayed at the place until the last person had left safely. In the hours following the event, Ramadan wrote a blog post calling the explosion a "full-fledged assassination attempt." Later, he said that the first probes showed that the explosion was caused by a gas cylinder inside the fireworks, not a bomb. It was an act of God, he said, emphasizing, "Long live my country, a country of security and safety." Mohamed Ramadan Instagram story Meanwhile, Mohamed Ramadan shared an ad for a new concert at Sky Bar on the North Coast, confirming that the event would still happen.

Video: Details of the explosion during the show by Mohamed Ramadan
ALBAWABA - Explosion at Mohamed Ramadan Porto Marina concert leaves one dead, sparks assassination claims. There was a tragic turn at Mohamed Ramadan's concert as part of the Porto Beats Festival in the Golf Porto Marina area on the North Coast when the pyrotechnics system suddenly stopped working. One young man died, and several others were hurt. Ramadan talked about what happened and took back what he had said before, that it was an attempt to kill him. Mohamed Ramadan Instagram profile "Correction: It was probably a gas cylinder explosion from the fireworks, not a bomb," Ramadan wrote on Instagram. He said that probes are still going on. The Egyptian artist said, "I personally confirmed with the Porto Marina management that the entire venue and stage were swept clean to ensure the safety of the audience and myself." Before this post, Mohamed Ramadan had also written on Instagram that what happened at his show was a "full-fledged assassination attempt." In his post, Ramadan said, "The concert was cut short because of an explosion right next to me on stage. I can still feel the force in my ear." One worker died because of this, and two others are in serious condition. May God forgive them, heal the hurt, and give their families and loved ones patience. The event organizer, Yasser Al-Hariri, and an official from the Fireworks Company, Mohamed Al-Sayed, said different things. Al-Hariri said that the fireworks company made the mistake, but Al-Sayed said that this was not true at all and that investigations are still going on and all officials are being questioned. A member of the Fireworks Company crew died, and it has been proven that it was not an attempt to kill them. Instead, it was an accident, and security officials are now looking into what happened. In a different story, Mohamed Ramadan is still filming his new movie "Lion," which was written and directed by Mohamed Diab and will be out soon in theaters.
