CEO Andy Byron officially spoke out
New York, New York – July 17, 2025 –
“I want to acknowledge the moment that went viral on social media and the disappointment it caused.
A night that should have been music and joy turned out to be a profound personal mistake exposed on a very public stage. I sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve more from me – as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.
This is not the person I want to be, nor is it the image I want to show for the company I helped build. I’m taking the time to reflect, take responsibility and determine my next steps – both personally and professionally. I look forward to respecting my privacy while I am going through this process.
I also want to express my discomfort and anxiety when a moment that should have been private is made public without my consent. I respect artists and performers, but hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning other people’s lives into public entertainment farces.
A friend once sang, ‘The light will lead you home, warm every bone, and I will try to heal you.’ – Andy Byron wrote.
The moment at the ColdPlay concert shook the media
On July 17, Coldplay held a concert in Boston, USA. The main vocalist of the legendary band – Chris Martin accidentally became the main character in a “debunke” case that took social networks by storm. In the group’s concert, Chris had fun with a “kiss cam” video. The camera targeted the CEO of astronomy software company Astronomer Andy Byron and the company’s supposed human resources manager. Chris Martin also added, “I bet these two people can only be having an affair or are very shy.”
On the big screen, tens of thousands of spectators witnessed an extremely intimate hug, when they spotted the camera, the two main characters hurriedly covered their faces and turned inside. The incident quickly became a hot topic of discussion. Many netizens recognized the identities of the two main characters, then looked up the information that both Andy Byron and his subordinates were married. The wife of the CEO of the astronomy company is not the woman who appears in the video.
Andy Byron is known as one of the veterans in the software industry in the US. He officially took over as CEO of Astronomer – a company worth more than $1 billion from July 2023.
Many people think that being “exposed” to an affair between tens of thousands of people at a concert, garnering millions of views on the internet is a big shock. Notably, CEO Andy Byron’s wife deleted her husband’s surname from her personal page after the video went viral.
