Coldplay kiss cam scandal: The players

Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot stepped down from tech company following viral Coldplay concert moment

After being caught off guard by Coldplay’s famous kiss cam at a July concert in Massachusetts, the list of so-called players has grown beyond the married co-workers caught in an embrace with each other, not their spouses.

More recently, new developments have come to light, including a twist about what might have really happened that night.

FOX Business takes a look at the individuals connected to the shot that went viral around the globe driving conversations about workplace romance, infidelity and a little-known tech company Astronomer.

Chris Martin – Coldplay co-founder 

The band’s British front man playfully highlighted concert-goers on the ‘kiss-cam’ in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Although this is a frequent move on their tours, one unsuspecting couple got caught in an embrace, before turning away and ducking.

Martin quipped, “either they’re having an affair or just very shy.” Turns out the co-worker couple were at the time married to other people. Despite pushback, Martin refused to stop using the kiss cam.
