A video taken at a Coldplay concert allegedly exposing a couple having an affair went viral earlier this week. The Grammy Award-winning band’s “kiss camera” surprised the couple during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
As the camera zeroed in on a man who had his arms wrapped around a woman, who are alleged to be Astronomer (a cybersecurity startup) CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, Cabot immediately turned in embarrassment while Byron ducked down to be avoided.
Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin then joked from the stage, “Oh look at these two. Alright, you’re okay. Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
According to reports, Byron is married with two kids. Cabot is divorced.
Video of the incident has been shared all over the internet, prompting mixed reactions. Many have found it amusing that an innocent concert video exposed an alleged affair, with some encouraging Byron’s wife to divorce the CEO and collect a hefty payday.
Two prominent church leaders, Dr. Ed Stetzer, dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and editor-in-chief of Outreach Magazine, and Greg Stier, founder and president of Dare 2 Share Ministries International, used the incident to speak wisdom into the heart of God’s church.

In a social media post that has received over 1.1 million views, Stetzer wrote, “All I see in moments like this is the deep pain of spouses, the cries of children, and the crater of relational destruction that adultery causes. It’s not funny, it’s generational devastation.”
Referring to the couple’s reactions when they noticed they had been caught, Stetzer told ChurchLeaders, “Wise choices and godly living can keep you from that moment of terror.”

Likewise, Stier said, “It was gut-wrenching to watch this viral clip on social media because I couldn’t stop thinking about the shock and devastation their families must have felt the moment they saw it.”
“When the camera was turned on them during the #Coldplay concert, the reaction of this couple was shame and hiding,” Stier continued. “He desperately ducked out of the frame and she immediately turned her back to the camera. In that moment they knew they had been caught red-handed and their worlds collapsed.”
Stier proposed the question: “How much more a sense of terror and desperation [will people] feel when the light of God’s holiness shines its blazing light on them on Judgment Day?”
The evangelist answered, “There will be massive shame on the part of every sinner who has ever lived….but nowhere for them to hide.”
