Coldplay and the chaos of Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and CPO Kristin Cabot: Everything that happened
Coldplay , the rock band, is known to savour adorable memories, sing aloud, and possibly tear up a bit during the emotional songs. However, one such clip from the concert, which sparked conversations, laughter, accusations, and so much more, of the CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron and the Chief People Officer (HR Department), Kristin Cabot, has been going viral on social media (for all the wrong reasons). What happened? On July 16, 2025, Coldplay held a concert as part of their 'Music of the Spheres' tour in Gillette Stadium, Boston. As a part of their immersive experience, the band has many traditions, which include confetti, one-to-one talks with concertgoers, wristbands, moon goggles, and more. One of which is 'The Jumbotron song,' where Martin converses and sings about the people with live lyrics. During the 'Kiss Cam' moment, the camera panned towards a middle-aged couple, who had their arms wrapped around. Initially, Martin, who was in awe, introduced them by saying, 'Whoa, look at these two.' However, in a split second, the woman turned around and tried to go out of the frame, while the man tried to bend down and hide behind the glass barricade. Martin quipped, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just really shy." 'Oh s–t, I hope we didn't do something bad,' he added. Turns out, the man, Andy Byron, held the position of CEO, while the woman, Kristin Cabot, held the position of Chief People Officer (Head of HR Department). Chris Martin confirms whether the couple was 'legitimate' A couple of moments later, a young couple is displayed on the Jumbotron. Chris asked, 'OK, now listen, are you two a couple? Are you two a legitimate couple?' The audience quickly shared a laugh; however, the couple did not respond immediately, which made the singer confused. The couple was staring at the singer, and the 48-year-old asked whether they understood English. No reaction at all, even after Martin tried to communicate in Spanish. 'Ok, I'm just going to risk it,' the 'Yellow' singer said. After Chris asked if they could hear him, the man finally responded with a thumbs-up. The interaction has been getting a lot of views on social media as well. The Aftermath As the clip went viral, Byron and Cabot were scrutinised by a good share of netizens, who were concerned about their respective family members. A user quickly shared that Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, had removed his surname from her Facebook account's profile name, which was some time before she entirely deactivated her account. Kerrigan is an accomplished educator in Massachusetts, who is working as an Associate Director of the Lower School and Admissions for the Hope Graham Program at the Bancroft School in Worcester, according to her profile. A letter to the netizens While the entire internet was busy sharing memes and chuckles, a certain viral statement circulated on social media that quickly grabbed the attention. Allegedly signed by Andy Byron, the letter had an apology to his family and employees. While the statement said that he would like to take accountability and privacy in the matter, it further said that his private moments were made public without his consent, which enraged many users. However, TMZ has confirmed that Andy Byron has not made any statement as of now, nor has Kristin Cabot. Who are Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot? Andy Byron has been the CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, according to his LinkedIn profile. The 50-year-old is married to Megan Herrigan, with whom he shares two kids. Meanwhile, Kristin Cabot joined the tech company, Astronomer, in November 2024, as a part of the HR Department that looks after ethics. She was previously married to Kenneth C. Thornby; however, they finalised their divorce in 2022 after filing it in 2018.

Coldplay's crazy concert moments: Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's 'Kiss Cam' incident to honoring Jasprit Bumrah
A 'Kiss Cam' would never be the same again (at least for Coldplay), after Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer (HR Department), were accidentally exposed for having an alleged infidelity while being displayed. The video has been getting mixed reactions: some have sparked outrage for the workplace professionalism, and others have been sharing memes and blatantly mocking the duo. The 'that' incident happened at a Coldplay concert in Boston, which was part of their 'Music of the Spheres' tour. While Andy and Kristin would always be remembered by the fans, there have been other incidents that were either gushed over or laughed over. Let's take a look at the iconic moments from the concerts. Chris Martin 's fall In the preceding year, Chris Martin and his bandmates were performing at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. While he was addressing the audience, the 48-year-old was stepping back without looking behind, and bang! He fell into the open trapdoor of the stage, and fortunately, there were a couple of people from the crew standing inside the hold who caught him and assisted him in getting back up. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo He said, 'That wasn't planned. Thank you for catching me so much. Thank you guys, holy s–t, that was a YouTube moment,' and indeed it was. The Jasprit Bumrah moment at Coldplay Chris Martin, being a fan of cricket, surprised the concertgoers at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai in January 2025 when he mentioned the prolific cricketer, Jasprit Bumrah. He joked about ending the concert early because Bumrah was waiting backstage and he could bowl to him. A couple of days later, when Coldplay was performing in Ahmedabad, Bumrah visited the concert, and Martin honoured him. 'O Jasprit Bumrah, my beautiful brother. The best bowler in the whole of cricket. We did not enjoy watching you destroy England, wicket after wicket,' referring to India's win against England. A 15-year-old sang with Chris Martin Chris Martin, the kind and generous musician, performed 'Everglow' with a 15-year-old, making his dream come true. As the vocalist sat in front of his piano, he held up a poster that read, "I manifested this moment. I'm ready for it. Can I play Everglow with you?' Well, the singer asked whether they could sing together. The 15-year-old was given the opportunity to play the piano, while Martin sat next to him. As he looked at the boy, the talented fan kept playing the tune during the concert in Mumbai. Honorary mention: Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's awkward moment How can we ever forget this? The CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, and the CPO, Kristin Cabot, were in each other's arms, and the camera panned towards them during the 'Kiss Cam' session. Making both of them startle, Cabot turned around and eventually left the frame, while Byron tried to hide behind a glass barricade. As a response, Martin joked, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just really shy." 'Oh s–t, I hope we didn't do something bad,' he added.

What do tickets cost to see Coldplay at Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. For once, Chris Martin wasn't the center of attention at a Coldplay concert. On Wednesday, July 16, the kiss cam at Coldplay's 'Music of The Spheres World Tour' concert at Foxborough, MA's Gillette Stadium centered its gaze on a handsy tech CEO for an AI business getting cozy with his mistress…who happened to be the head of HR at his company. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin mused from the stage when the cuddly pair popped up and ducked out of frame on camera. And, while that may end up being the most headline-grabbing story from the international tour, what's missing from the stories covering the splashy news is just how powerful the 'Yellow' band's live show is. 'First off, I'm a full-grown adult. I pay bills, do laundry, and have a favorite spatula,' Reddit user Ilikegreenchili wrote on R/Coldplay following a recent concert the group performed in Colorado. 'And yet, I took my teenage son to the Coldplay concert in Denver tonight… and I cried. Not once. Not twice. I cried so many times I think Chris Martin owes me emotional damages. I was not prepared to sob in public next to my teen. Overall 10/10 experience. Would cry again.'

At Gillette, Coldplay assemble a glimmering constellation of pop
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up While flaunting music from their past two albums, the tour's titular work 'Music of the Spheres' and 2024's 'Moon Music,' Tuesday night's concert stretched Coldplay's potential to different pockets of the pop universe, and demonstrated how much their palette has broadened since their mellow breakthrough hit, 'Yellow.' As light-up bracelets distributed to the audience blinked and cycled through colors in time with the performance, mimicking a glittering galaxy, the band spent two hours assembling a constellation of complementary sounds. Advertisement 'Paradise' cast a sweeping veil of synth-pop across the stadium, followed by a burst of drama via the poignant orchestral pop of 'Viva La Vida,' which found Martin and the crowd collectively retelling the fable that earned Coldplay their first No.1 song. 'People of the Pride' leaned into the latter half of pop-rock with a semi-political, fully-electric display of arena rock that caught Martin trading his usual softness for macho swagger, while their fizzy EDM collab with DJs The Chainsmokers ('Something Just Like This') felt ripe for a rave. Advertisement And yes, Coldplay's piano-pop resonates 25 years after the release of their debut album 'Parachutes,' in part thanks to TikTok and some well-timed teariness. Following reports that Martin had parted ways with his partner, actress Dakota Johnson, fans spotted Martin getting misty-eyed during 'Sparks' at a Las Vegas show last month, prompting a spike in streams and posts involving the song — just enough to The piano riffs of earlier hits 'Clocks' and 'Speed of Sound' have aged just as well, and cradled the stadium with a familiar warmth, although nothing sparkled quite like Martin's visible sense of wonder as a frontman. The gleam of tens of thousands of bracelets was rivaled only by the gleam in Martin's eyes as he skipped along the catwalk, giddy as if it were the tour's opening evening and not show number 200-plus. Granted, Tuesday wasn't Coldplay's first visit to Gillette Stadium since 2001, but the occasion felt like a triumphant return post-River Rave nonetheless. 'We're going to be massive in Boston,' indeed. COLDPLAY With Ayra Starr and Elyanna. At Gillette Stadium, Tuesday. Advertisement
