A light-hearted “kiss cam” segment during Coldplay’s 16 July concert at Gillette Stadium in the Boston area went viral after front-man Chris Martin joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy,” when a couple on the screen tried to hide from the camera. The clip spread quickly across social media and entertainment sites. Online sleuths identified the pair as Andy Byron, chief executive of DataOps software company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the firm’s chief people officer. Both are married to other people. The attention prompted Astronomer’s board to review whether the relationship breached its code of conduct and conflict-of-interest rules. Astronomer announced on 19 July that Byron had resigned. Co-founder Pete DeJoy was appointed interim chief executive while the $1.3 billion company searches for a permanent successor. Cabot has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the internal review, according to people familiar with the matter. Coldplay has since begun warning audiences that they may appear on venue screens, while musicians such as Oasis’s Liam Gallagher have mocked the episode, highlighting the broader debate over privacy and workplace ethics in an era of ubiquitous cameras.
