Tech company Astronomer said its board launched an investigation after CEO Andy Byron was seen embracing a coworker at a Coldplay concert.

A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Coldplay wants no further involvement in the Astronomer CEO/HR boss saga after accitendally outing the cheaters.

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.

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.

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

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 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.
