Andy Byron was thrust into the national spotlight over the weekend when a now-infamous video of him attending a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts went viral as it appeared to unveil an apparent affair.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned following an investigation into his relationship with a human resource officer after Coldplay frontman Chris Martin accidentally hard-launched their purported affair at a concert.

A 20-second cuddle at a Coldplay concert turned two anonymous executives into global villains, and a viral cautionary tale about power, privacy, and the wrath of the internet.

Coldplay isn’t touching the Astronomer CEO/HR chief scandal, at least not online. The group had a significant part to play in Andy Byron getting exposed for having an affair with Kristin Cabot, and the consequences have been far-reaching.
