LONDON (AP) — A routine moment of crowdwork at a Coldplay concert went viral last week when a couple tried to avoid the spotlight after they were caught hugging on the jumbotron. Internet sleuths quickly figured out that they were the CEO and chief people officer of a little-known tech company called Astronomer.

The CEO of an American tech company resigned Saturday after a video of him embracing an alleged colleague at a Coldplay concert went viral and fuelled relentless memes, reports AFP.

Andy Byron steps down as Astronomer CEO following a Coldplay concert incident where he was seen cuddling with his HR head, with co-founder Pete DeJoy stepping in as interim CEO.

Astronomer CEO Byron was shown romantically holding his company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, at a recent Coldplay concert.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, technically the outfit's "chief people officer," couldn't have looked more guilty, awkwardly attempting to hide their faces and duck out of the frame as they realized they were on full view of the stadium.

The moment captured an alleged affair, sparking a storm of memes, sleuthing and backlash that drew comments from around the world.

A scandal sparked by a couple of indiscreet Coldplay fans is providing fodder for country musicians at their own recent shows.

After Coldplay fan Grace Springer posted a now-viral video exposing Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s alleged affair, the 28-year-old revealed how much money she made from the ordeal.
