Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned days after a video showing a couple ducking away from the kiss cam at a recent Coldplay concert in Massachusetts went viral. The pair appeared so caught off guard in the clip that Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin dropped a zinger that immediately sent internet sleuths to work.

"Anybody in here with their side chick or whatever, I think you're safe here," the country music star told the crowd during his concert Friday.

"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met," the company said in a statement.

For a tech company scandal, the Coldplay concert kiss cam moment between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR lead Kristin Cabot seems fairly innocuous—but the software company has given both the (temporary) boot.

Andy Byron, who has found himself at the center of a social media firestorm over a Coldplay concert video, was the CEO of a tech company named Astronomer. On July 19, the company announced that Byron has resigned in the wake of the scandal.

The viral claims of 'The Simpsons' predicting the Astronomer saga involving Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have been debunked.

His alleged mistress, Kristin Cabot, might not have the same financial dilemma in the face of divorce, Chemtob noted, as she and her apparent husband, Privateer Rum owner Andrew Cabot, seem to have been together a relatively short time. The details can get much dicier if either couple had prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, Chemtob noted.

In an email to the Globe, an Astronomer spokesperson said that company leaders “are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”

Astronomer announced in an X post on July 19 that its CEO Andy Byron has "tendered his resignation" following a viral Coldplay concert video.

The coldplay concert turned expensive in all parts of life for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and thd HR chief. The kiss cam (and camera phones) turned toward Andy and Kristin Cabot, whose unexpected PDA moment went viral after being caught sharing an intimate moment at the concert.
