REO Speedwagon's Bruce Hall and Spinal Tap are jumping into the trending Coldplay meme phenomenon, sharing hilarious posts about a particularly awkward viral video that has captured the attention of the internet. This clip features a couple who were unexpectedly caught on the band’s “Kiss Cam” during a performance at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium earlier this week. Their reaction strongly indicates that they were not prepared to be seen displaying affection in such a public setting.

The woman in the video is visibly distressed, covering her face in embarrassment before turning away and leaving the scene. Meanwhile, the man drops out of sight entirely, disappearing from the frame. In response to their discomfort, Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin humorously observes, “Ohhh look at these two; either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” His comment may have struck a chord, hinting at the underlying tension.

It turns out that the man has been identified as Andy Byron, the CEO of a software company called Astronomer, while the woman is his colleague, Kristin Cabot, who serves as the company’s Chief People Officer. Notably, Byron is married, and Cabot is not his spouse, adding a layer of intrigue to the incident.

This incident has unleashed a torrent of jokes across social media platforms, leading to the creation of a new term: “Coldplayed.” This term humorously describes the act of being unintentionally exposed while engaging in infidelity, particularly during significant public events. It highlights the relatable nature of the situation and how quickly a private moment can become public.

In a humorous twist, Hall, the longtime bassist of REO Speedwagon, decided to capitalize on the moment by reimagining the lyrics to the band’s classic 1981 hit “Take It on the Run.” He cleverly altered the lyrics to: “Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from Coldplay you’ve been messing around…” This clever adaptation showcases Hall’s wit and ability to engage with the viral moment.

Meanwhile, Spinal Tap issued a light-hearted promise that their concerts would remain a haven for those who might be unfaithful. They jokingly stated, “To the spouses who found out they were being cheated on via the Coldplay jumbotron: sorry to hear that. Come see Spinal Tap. We promise no jumbotrons, just ear damage and emotional closure.’ This playful remark adds to the humor surrounding the incident and highlights the camaraderie in the music community.
