Who is Andy Byron? Astronomer CEO caught having affair with HR Head at Coldplay concert—this question has dominated headlines and social media after a jaw-dropping viral video emerged from a Coldplay show in Boston. What should have been a lighthearted moment on the concert’s kiss cam has now turned into a full-fledged public relations storm for the data software giant Astronomer and its leadership.
The Coldplay Concert Scandal
During a recent Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Andy Byron attended in the company of Kristin Cabot, Astronomer's HR Chief (Chief People Officer). Their presence together became international news when the stadium's kiss cam landed on them. As the camera zoomed in, Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin playfully remarked, “Oh look at these two. Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.” The pair, caught off-guard, tried to hide their faces, inadvertently escalating suspicions.
Crowds erupted in laughter, and the footage instantly went viral across X (Twitter) and TikTok. Social media was merciless, with support pouring in for Byron’s wife. Users noted Megan Byron had removed her married name from Facebook soon after the incident came to light.
Byron and Cabot have yet to publicly comment on the viral incident or the swirling allegations, but the story has triggered a heated debate about workplace relationships, corporate governance, and personal accountability.
