Kiss controversy at the Coldplay concert
Everything happened at a Coldplay concert in Boston. In the KISS cam segment of the show, in which fans from the audience are projected onto the large screen, things went differently this time. A man and a woman who moved closely to music were shown. When they appeared on the screen, everything went very quickly. The man tried to hide and the woman put her hands in front of his face.
Front singer Chris Martin commented: “Either you have an affair, or you are just very shy.” From that moment on, the video was found on all platforms and the identities of the two were quickly uncovered.
