Overview

• At a concert in Hull, Chris Martin told fans the crowd-camera bit has long been part of Coldplay shows and will continue, saying you make lemonade when life hands you lemons.
• The July Foxborough segment showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot on the big screen, and the video surged across TikTok and X.
• Astronomer said the conduct fell short of leadership standards, opened an internal investigation, and confirmed that Byron resigned and Cabot later left the company.
• Martin had joked during the Boston show that the pair either had an affair or were shy, a quip later borne out by reporting on their relationship.
• Some peers condemned the practice, with Oasis deriding the segment at their own show, as discussion over privacy and crowd features at concerts intensified.
