Coldplay's Chris Martin references Andy Byron jumbotron scandal at Wisconsin show, tells fans to 'do your makeup...'

Coldplay has been in the news for the past few weeks thanks to a high-profile infidelity scandal that unexpectedly unfolded during their concert at Boston last week. During the event, the jumbotron caught Astronomer CEO Andy Byron in a compromising position with his company’s HR chief, Kristin Cabot. Andy was married to Megan Kerrigan at the time, resulting in a full-blown scandal that led to his resignation from Astronomer altogether, along with messy divorce proceedings.

In the band's July 20 show in Madison, Wisconsin, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin took a jab at the scandal by saying: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen. So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now."





Chris Martin was still in good humor regarding the jumbotron scandal Coldplay had unwittingly gotten wrapped up in. During the Boston concert, Martin had caught on to the embarrassment felt by Andy Byron when he featured on the jumbotron, and had said: “Oh what, Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.” While Andy Byron’s infidelity scandal has had massive personal consequences for the Astronomer CEO, Coldplay themselves seem to be laughing the whole incident off.

The band’s recent concerts in Boston and Wisconsin are part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, which began in Costal Rica on March 2022 and has been ongoing for the next several years. This world tour is being done to promote the band’s most recent albums, Music of the Spheres and Moon Music.





After Andy Byron was caught on the jumbotron during Coldplay’s Boston concert, he eventually had to resign from his position as Astronomer CEO, with the company giving the following statement to Newsweek on the matter: "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."
