Coldplay singer-songwriter and musician Chris Martin offered a light-hearted caution to all the fans during the band's first concert following the viral video of 'kiss cam' drama from the previous concert earlier in the week, according to PEOPLE. In the first concert after the ‘kiss cam’ incident, Martin gave the on-camera portion of the performance an introduction.
"We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd," Martin said, as his audience erupted in cheers, per a fan-recorded clip. "How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen," PEOPLE reported.
The musician was seen giving a cheeky warning to fans: "So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now." The development comes days after the video, filmed during Coldplay's performance at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16, 2025, showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, on the event's 'kiss cam.'
As Cabot put his arms around Cabot, both appeared to quickly hide their faces after realizing they were being shown on the big screen. Cabot was seen quickly covering her face, while Byron ducked out of sight soon after realizing they were on camera. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin noticed the couple's odd reaction on the arena's jumbotron. As they ducked away, Martin joked, "Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy."
