Coldplay is giving fans fair warning after their recent show exposed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s alleged affair.
Following the scandal that unfolded during ‘Jumbotron Song’ at Gillette Stadium show in Foxboro, Massachusetts on Tuesday, frontman Chris Martin made light of the situation as the band performed Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
“We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,” he said in a video shared on X, sparking laughter among the audience. “How we’re gonna do that is we’re gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.”
Martin jokingly added, “So please, if you haven’t done your makeup, do your makeup now.”
The 7x Grammy winner’s comment comes after Byron and Astronomer chief people officer Kristin Cabot were put on leave by the software startup following a now viral clip of them hiding their faces when the camera caught them cuddling for the jumbotron.
“Oh, look at these two,” said Martin in the clip. “All right, c’mon, you’re okay—Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
Since the pair went on leave pending an investigation, Astronomer co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy has stepped in as interim CEO.
