Oasis' Liam Gallagher takes aim at Coldplay after kiss cam scandal
Oasis have declared their shows are a safe place for cheaters. The UK band's frontman Liam Gallagher addressed the Coldplay kiss cam scandal at his Manchester concert this week, asking the crowd if there were 'any lovebirds in the house?' 'Don't worry, we don't got any of that Coldplay snidey f**king camera shit,' the 52-year-old said. 'Doesn't matter to us who you're f**king mingling with, tingling with. None of our f**king business.' He continued, 'This one's for the lovebirds anyway', before the opening chords of Slide Away began. It comes as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has been forced to take leave after his alleged affair with the firm's chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, was caught on Coldplay's jumbotron at the band's Boston show on Wednesday. Astronomer said in a statement on Friday that Byron was placed on leave and that Pete DeJoy, co-founder and chief product officer, would serve as interim CEO. 'We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days,' the company said in a statement on X. Earlier, the company confirmed it launched an investigation into the matter. In the viral video, the couple scrambled to hide their faces when an image of them getting cosy appeared on the big screen at Gillette Stadium. As the camera zoned in on the cuddling pair, Cabot quickly covered her face and turned in the opposite direction, while Byron ducked behind a barricade. 'Oh, what?' frontman Chris Martin responded to the scenes while onstage. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' he added. Per the official Astronomer website, the pair worked together at the AI and data company valued at an estimated $US1.2 billion. Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, reportedly removed his last name from her Facebook page shortly after the scandal went public, and later deleted her account entirely. Meanwhile, reports suggest Cabot is married to the CEO of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based liquor brand. According to property records obtained by the New York Post, Cabot has shared a New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot since at least 2023.

Radio star Amanda Keller's wild spray as she defends Coldplay kiss cam CEO: 'How would you feel?'
Amanda Keller has spoken of her discomfort over the public reaction to the now-infamous' Coldplay concert kiss cam' moment. The radio host said on the Jonesy & Amanda show this week that she has empathy for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who was caught cuddling the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay gig last week. 'How would you feel if you were constantly defined by the worst mistake you'd ever made?' the 63-year-old said. 'And these people up on this big screen have families. What a huge mistake they've made.' Keller slammed the social media response as 'hyenas picking at the bones'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I am starting to feel uncomfortable with my own reaction,' she continued, adding that her own response made her feel 'bad'. 'Imagine if you had a humiliating moment - it doesn't have to be an affair- and it suddenly becomes viral and you lose everything'. Keller said that there were different ways of looking at the controversial moment, other than the mockery that has erupted online. 'It's interesting because there's a couple of ways of looking at this. It's united the whole world in the glee that we've all felt at this situation' she added. It comes after news that Andy Byron has resigned in disgrace amid an investigation into the scandal. Byron, 50, who was spotted on camera at the concert with his arms wrapped around Cabot, stepped down after being placed on leave on Friday. The billion-dollar company announced the CEO's resignation in a statement on Saturday. 'Imagine if you had a humiliating moment - it doesn't have to be an affair- and it suddenly becomes viral and you lose everything,' Keller said 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,' the statement read. '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.' Byron and Cabot were caught red-faced as the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston panned to the CEO with his arms wrapped around his subordinate on Tuesday. The pair immediately ducked and turned from the cameras after realising their faces were on the big screen.

Liam Gallagher Pokes Fun at ‘Snidey' Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal During Manchester Show
Liam Gallagher has made a playful dig at the kiss cam scandal that's enraptured the internet, saying that there won't be any jumbotron revelations at the upcoming Oasis shows. Speaking from the stage during the band's final show of their six night stand at Manchester's Heaton Park (July 20), Gallagher made reference to the incident at a Coldplay show in San Francisco last week, which saw a pair of attendees embracing but sheepishly hiding from view when they appeared on stage's jumbotron.

The viral TikTok clip showed Andy Byron (CEO) with his arms around Kristin Cabot (chief human resources officer) at the event. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said from the stage. Byron has since resigned from his position at the company. On Sunday, Gallagher was speaking before the band's performance of 'Slide Away' and asked the crowd 'do we have any love birds in the house?' He added, 'don't worry, we won't have none of that Coldplay snidey f–ing camera s–t here.' 'Doesn't matter to us who you're f–ing, mingling with, tingling with, fingering with… it's none of our f–ing business. This one's for the love birds anyway,' he said to laughs and cheers from the crowd. Throughout Coldplay's Music of the Spheres global jaunt — the biggest rock tour of all time, according to Billboard — the group have used a segment where they film audience members and Martin sings an impromptu song to them. In June, Celine Dion was the subject of one song alongside other fans. At Coldplay's following show in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday (July 19) Martin warned the crowd before starting the segment. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,' he said. 'How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' Flashing a grin, he added, 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.' It's not the first time that Gallagher has made a quip at Martin's expense, famously dubbing the frontman as looking like a 'geography teacher' and called the band a 'bunch of students.' In 2017 the pair performed together at the One Love concert in Manchester following the terror attack at the city's arena. 'I take back everything I've ever said about you,' Liam later said to Martin. 'You sound f–ing really good.' Oasis are in the midst of their Live '25 reunion tour, with a run of shows set to kick off on Friday (July 25) at London's Wembley Stadium, before the U.K. leg concludes in Edinburgh, Scotland and then heads to Dublin, Ireland.
