Coldplay frontman Chris Martin found himself in the middle of unexpected drama during the band's concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston, after he accidentally exposed a couple's alleged affair on the venue's kiss cam - a moment that has since gone viral across social media platfroms.
The incident occurred when Martin was interacting with the audience using a kiss cam, a lighthearted segment meant to entertain the crowd.
However, things took a sharp turn when the camera landed on a man and a woman standing close together - the man seen hugging the woman from behind. As their image appeared on the big screen, the pair quickly panicked.
Visibly alarmed, they ducked behind a barrier and tried to shield their faces from the lens. The woman swiftly stepped away while the man crouched down, clearly trying to avoid attention.

Amused by the moment but unaware of the deeper context, Martin quipped from the stage, "Oh look at these two! Oh what? They're either having an affair or they're just very shy," leaving the audience in splits.

The awkward interaction was caught on camera by multiple fans and instantly went viral online. But what began as a funny concert moment quickly turned into something more serious. According to a report by The Sun, online sleuths identified the man as tech company CEO Andy Byron, who was allegedly having an affair with the firm’s HR chief, the woman spotted in the now-viral video.
Netizens react to the viral video
Soon after the video surfaced on X, a user commented, "Taking your cheating partner to a public concert with cameras is just wild. I pity his wife."
Another wrote, "I don’t know what’s worse… finding out that your spouse is cheating or that they’re fans of Coldplay?"
"Amazing that people still have affairs in this day and age... get a divorce dude," wrote another user.
Meanwhile, Coldplay is currently touring the US as part of their record-breaking Music of the Spheres World Tour, which continues to draw massive crowds.
Following their Boston performance, the band is scheduled to play in Madison, Nashville, and Miami, before returning to the UK for a string of shows in August.
