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

Coldplay found itself in the center of a storm when a camera panned to a couple in an embrace during a show on its “Music of the Spheres World Tour” at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16, prompting frontman Chris Martin to say, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

After Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught mid-embrace on the kiss cam at a recent Coldplay concert, and visibly panicked, Martin said from the stage, "Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.

Almost instantly, the clip went viral, racking up over 30 million views. The internet was transfixed and delighted in the schadenfreude: the wealthy, married chief executive of a tech firm being caught out canoodling with a colleague, the head of HR no less, in the most criminally uncool of contexts: a Coldplay concert.

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,” Chris Martin sings in the Coldplay song, “The Scientist.” Questions are definitely being asked about a viral “kiss cam” moment from a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts this week.
