Overview

  • Last week’s Gillette Stadium clip revealed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot on screen, leading to Byron’s resignation on July 18.
  • Astronomer cofounder Pete DeJoy is serving as interim CEO while the board’s formal investigation into executives’ off-duty conduct continues.
  • Martin paused the Madison concert to joke that fans should touch up their makeup before the band’s signature camera segment.
  • Coldplay deliberately omitted couples from the live screen during the ‘Jumbotron Song’ in its first show since the viral incident.
  • The episode has intensified debates over audience consent for on-stage video and reinforced corporate standards for personal accountability.
