Coldplay's Boston concert kiss cam captured Andy Byron, who used to be Astronomer CEO, cozying up with Kristin Cabot, the company's HR head. The two quickly disengaged when they realized they were on screen, but it sparked affair rumours. The rub is that both of them are married to other people.
What began as a viral moment, quickly escalated, with Astronomer placing both Byron and Cabot on leave, and launching an investigation. Byron, meanwhile, has stepped down from the CEO's position as well.
Amid this, the Manchester-based band Oasis, decided to take a dig at Coldplay's kiss cam.

“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,” Liam continued, as the audience cheered him on.

Meanwhile, Pete DeJoy issued a public statement for the first time since he took over as interim CEO. Acknowledging that Astronomer was now almost a household name due to the event at the concert, he said that the situation had been somewhat ‘surreal’ for people working there, but promised the company would go ahead with its goals.
