Coldplay frontman Chris Martin warned fans to get camera-ready during his concert Saturday night — a wink and a nod to the massive scandal caused by the kiss-cam at his last show.
The moment came just a few days after millionaire CEO Andy Byron and his HR executive Kristin Cabot sparked an online firestorm by awkwardly dodging the cam caught canoodling at Coldplay’s Boston show Wednesday.
“We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd, how we gonna do that, is we gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen,” Martin told the crowd at a show in Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on Saturday, according to videos posted by concertgoers on social media.
Chris Martin issued a cheeky warning to audience members at his first Coldplay show since the Astronomer CEO kiss cam scandal. Getty Images“So please, if you haven’t done your makeup, do your makeup now,” he said.
The cheeky comment came just days after Byron, 50, and Cabot, 52, were caught cuddling — then panicking — as jumbotron cameras zeroed in on them in a crowd of 55,000 during Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium.
Cabot quickly shielded her face while Byron ducked out of view, the video showed.

Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
By Thursday morning, the pair was identified as the high-powered CEO and HR boss of a tech company.
