An apology statement attributed to Andy Byron is spreading rapidly online after the Astronomer chief executive was identified as the man seen ducking to hide when the jumbotron camera showed him cuddling a woman during a July 2025 Coldplay concert.

Astronomer, the tech company that found itself launched into the public eye after its CEO was spotted on a Jumbotron video at a Coldplay concert earlier this week embracing an employee, issued a statement about the matter via LinkedIn.

However, according to an Astronomer spokesperson, the statement is fake and no official communication has been issued yet by the company or its CEO, San Francisco Chronicle reported. Byron is reportedly married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, a teacher in Massachusetts with whom he shares two kids.
