Coldplay<\/a>\u2019s Chris Martin<\/a> wants to set the record straight about the band’s now-infamous \u201ckiss cam\u201d jumbotron segment.<\/p>\n The iconic rock band performed at Craven Park in Hull, England, on Tuesday (Aug. 19) as part of its Music of the Spheres World Tour. During the show, Martin wanted to make something clear about the segment of the concert where the band greets fans through jumbotron screens onstage.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’re going to do something you may have seen on the internet, but I’m gonna say this once and once only. This is not, never will be, never was a ‘kiss cam,’ drives me fucking bananas,\u201d Martin said in a video circulating online.<\/p>\n \u201cWe put one couple, and then you\u2019re branded a kiss cam for the rest of your life. It’s unbelievable. This is called a jumbotron, and we’ve done this for a long, long time, and we pick people out to say, ‘Hello.’\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Martin continued, \u201cAnd sometimes, they turn out to be an internationally massive scandal. Sure, but most of the time we’re just trying to say hello to some fucking people. That’s all. Now all of this is bullshit.\u201d<\/p>\n Martin was referring to Kristin Cabot, the now-former head of HR at Astronomer, and the company\u2019s former CEO, Andy Byron, who attended Coldplay\u2019s concert together in Boston in July. The two were filmed in an embrace<\/a> during the jumbotron segment before suddenly breaking away from each other.<\/p>\n The moment went wildly viral<\/a>, and the two eventually resigned from their respective positions<\/a> in light of the controversy.<\/p>\n \u201cWe sent pure love to those people and I wish them so well,” Martin said. “But here we are in Hull, and I’d like to say hello to some of you, so we’re gonna do our fucking kiss cam. That’s what we’re gonna do. But it\u2019s not a kiss cam, Jesus.<\/p>\n \u201cSo if you’re not prepared to be on international news, please duck,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Night Visions [LP]<\/p>\n uDiscover Music<\/span> Night Visions [LP]<\/span> $27.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Native 2LP<\/p>\n uDiscover Music<\/span> Native 2LP<\/span> $32.99<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Songs About Jane Vinyl<\/p>\n Interscope Records<\/span> Songs About Jane Vinyl<\/span> $30<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Songs Of Surrender\u2019 2LP Vinyl<\/p>\n Interscope Records<\/span> \u2018Songs Of Surrender\u2019 2LP Vinyl<\/span> $46<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Doechii Cancels Upcoming European Festival Performances With No Explanation<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Video Shows Woman Being Violently Assaulted During Rose Bowl Concert<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Watch Paul Wall Perform at Gracie\u2019s Corner Concert in Houston<\/span><\/p>\n Memphis Bleek Says New Music From Jay-Z Could Be On The Way: ‘Save Me a Verse’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Fivio Foreign Says Streamers Are Popular Because of the \u2018Platform,\u2019 Not the \u2018Individual’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated Products<\/h3>\n
