It has been more than a month ago that on July 16, 2025 Andy Byron and his personnel manager Kristin Cabot were exposed at a Coldplay concert in Boston at the extramarital turteln. The two employees: Inside the Astronomer company, during the show on the Gillette Stadium, large could be seen on the screen of the so-called KISS cam. The band around Chris Martin involuntarily revealed an affair. During a performance in England, the Coldplay front man now defended the existence of her cam.
“If life gives you lemons, make lemonade out of it”
After the scandal, voices became voices that questioned how up to date it was to show the audience on such a large screen. At their show in Hull, Hull, Coldplay now explained why they will continue to hold on to the KISS cam: “We have been doing this for a while and that is the only time that it got out of hand.”
“If life gives you lemons, make lemonade out of it,” added Chris Martin. You want to continue with the KISS cam because you can reach some of the fans directly. The cameras tie the audience into the show and at the same time ensure special moments.
Chris Martin joked over the Kiss cam before
At the concert in Madison, Wisconsin – the band’s first appearance since the sensitive show at the Gillette Stadium – Martin announced the “Jumbootron Song” with a wink. This track had led to the infamous Kiss cam moment.
“We would like to welcome some of you to the audience,” said Martin in front of the crowd in Camp Randall Stadium. “And we will use our cameras. And bring a few of you to the big screen.” Then he joked: “So if you haven’t done your make-up yet, make it now.”
