A rumor circulated online in July 2025 claimed that Astronomer ex-CEO Andy Byron was preparing to sue Coldplay following an embarrassing incident involving a concert jumbotron "kiss cam." Byron and the company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, resigned after a video crew at a Coldplay concert displayed them embracing each other during a kiss-cam segment. Despite social media posts suggesting legal action, no credible news outlets confirmed that Byron was preparing to sue the band. Various tabloids and blogs published articles speculating on the potential for a lawsuit, but no concrete evidence of legal action was found.
