"I sincerely apologise to my wife": Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's alleged statement goes viral after his scandalous moment with HR caught at Coldplay concert

What started as a regular Coldplay concert quickly turned into the internet’s latest gossip wildfire after a supposed cheating scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Krisin Cabot was caught on the venue’s kiss-cam. The video, which shows the two enjoying the concert in each other’s arms before awkwardly reacting to being caught on camera, spread fast — and so did the outrage.

According to reports, both Byron and Cabot are married to other people. Their public display of affection triggered online fury, especially after a seemingly heartfelt apology began circulating on social media, allegedly from Byron himself.

The viral “statement” read like a public confession. It opened with Byron apologizing to his wife, family, and colleagues, stating, “You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.” The note continued with sentiments of regret, accountability, and a plea for privacy. He even took a swipe at the media spectacle, saying what should’ve been a private mistake turned into a public circus. The kicker? A closing line borrowed from Coldplay’s lyrics: “Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.”

On the surface, it was the kind of damage-control message you’d expect from a cornered CEO. It was making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), news aggregators, and entertainment gossip sites within hours. The tone was apologetic, introspective, and PR-polished. It felt real.

This twist has sparked another round of reactions, with many users criticizing how quickly people believed an unverified screenshot. Some find the parody amusing, others say it crosses the line by dragging families and real relationships into viral fiction.

So, while the Coldplay concert clip was real and awkward enough to raise eyebrows, the statement that followed wasn’t. The whole affair — real or not — is a classic case of how quickly truth, speculation, and parody blur in the age of viral outrage.
