NEW YORK — Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer was caught in a viral video at a Coldplay concert on Wednesday.

The video shows Byron, who is married, with the company’s HR chief Kristin Cabot on the “kiss cam”.

Byron allegedly released a statement saying what was supposed to be a special night filled with music and joy turned into a personal mistake.

“I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader. This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I’m taking time to reflect, to take accountability, and to figure out the next steps, personally and professionally. I ask for privacy as I navigate that process. I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else’s life into a spectacle.

As a friend once sang: ‘Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you."

On Thursday, Astronomer told TMZ that it is “not a real statement”.

Byron and Cabot have not commented on the viral video.
