“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
What happened at the Coldplay concert?
This statement from the account was made after the incident at the Coldplay concert on July 16, 2025. The show was held in Boston, and several clips from it went viral. Among those videos were two people who were unintentionally called out by the band’s frontman, Chris Martin. The musician called out a man and woman who were seen on the ‘kiss cam’, embracing each other.
However, as soon as the camera focused on them, they quickly moved away and hid their faces. The duo was later identified as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot. Nonetheless, it was Chris Martin’s statement which further fueled the speculations, as he stated that the couple was either having an affair or was too shy. Soon after, Andy and Kristin started receiving flak on social media for alleged ‘cheating’ and ‘affair’. Chris Martin was quoted as saying:
“Oh, look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
