Astronomer CEO who cheated blames Coldplay for 'deeply personal mistake' in statement

Chief Executive Andy Byron has issued a statement after being exposed clinging to a woman who was not his wife during a recent Coldplay gig.

The tech boss was unwittingly caught in the clinch when Coldplay's Chris Martin highlighted him and lady at their latest Massachusetts performance. The business mogul appeared to be in sheer bliss as he danced to the band's live music whilst embracing the woman from behind.

Yet upon realising their intimate moment was being broadcast on the venue's giant screen, the pair instantly pulled apart and tried to dodge the camera's gaze.

Chris, who quipped after witnessing their panicked response: "Oh look at these two. Either they are having an affair or they're just really shy," proved spot-on with his "affair" observation.

Following the public exposure of the executive's clandestine relationship, the unfaithful husband has now issued a public apology, reports the Mirror US.

His statement declared: "I want to acknowledge the moment that's been circulating online, and the disappointment it's caused.

"What was supposed to be a night of music and joy turned into a deeply personal mistake play-out out on a very public stage. I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and my 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, take accountability, and 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."

Many have been taking to X, formerly Twitter, to share their opinions on the situation. Several admitted that Andy blaming Coldplay for his actions was totally out of line.

"Blaming Coldplay because you were hugging your side piece AT A PUBLIC EVENT is beyond fucked up. That man is immature, and it shows. Andy Byron, i hope your wife gets a fat check in the divorce fix you? nah f- -k you," one shared on X.

A second added, "The most arrogant and tone deaf statement from CEO and A- -hat in Charge Andy Byron."
