Chris Martin issues a warning amid CEO kiss cam drama
At their Music of the Spheres tour stop in Wisconsin on July 19th, Chris Martin issued a precautionary statement following a recent viral scandal that had arisen at an earlier show. This action was taken shortly after the viral incident involving Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, which eventually led to his resignation.
According to videos shared by fans, Martin playfully addressed the audience, saying, “We’d like to greet some of you in the crowd and show some of you on the big screen.” He then quipped, “The way we plan to do that is by using our cameras and showing some of you on the big screen. By the way, if you haven’t applied your makeup yet, now would be a good time!” This light-hearted comment seemed to reference an uncomfortable incident from Coldplay’s performance in Massachusetts on July 16.
At the previous performance, the band’s cameras focused on a pair within the crowd. Swiftly reacting, the woman hid her face and moved away. Simultaneously, the man seemed to vanish, trying to conceal himself. In jest at the moment, Martin quipped, “Perhaps they’re involved in a secret relationship, or else they’re simply very shy.
In just three days’ time, Byron relinquished his role as CEO at Astronomer, a decision announced on July 19th. The company made clear their statement, emphasizing their long-standing commitment to the principles and ethos they’ve upheld since inception. They expect their leaders to serve as models of behavior and responsibility, and unfortunately, those standards were not maintained recently.
The company officially acknowledged Byron’s departure, and furthermore, they disclosed that Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Pete DeJoy, will act as the temporary CEO.
