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

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.

Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday took an unexpected turn when a couple caught on the jumbotron sparked debate online.

The employer of a CEO reportedly seen in a viral "kiss cam" moment at a recent Coldplay concert says it is launching an investigation into the incident. Astronomer, a New York City-based data company, said in a statement Friday that a "formal investigation" has been launched by its board of directors.

By now, pretty much everyone knows the story of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron being caught out at a Coldplay concert with a woman who wasn't his wife, HR chief Kristin Cabot, and the two looking very cozy.
