Who can resist a viral moment? Certainly not Chris Martin.
The Coldplay frontman and his band, specifically their concerts, have been enjoying renewed popularity ever since a cheating scandal was uncovered at one of their concerts in Massachusetts.
Now, exactly a month after former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught having an apparent affair with his HR head, the "Fix You" singer is maintaining he'll keep the concerts' crowd camera tradition (not the cheating) alive.

"Life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade," he went on, and maintained: "So, we are going to keep doing it because we are going to meet some of you."
Later in the concert Chris also took a moment to interact with the crowd — and their signs — during which he read aloud: "You were at that Boston gig," and joked: "Well, OK, thank you for coming again after that debacle."

After Andy stepped down and was replaced by fellow co-founder Pete DeJoy, the data company hired the Goop founder to make a tongue-in-cheek ad for them.

The first question that appears on the screen is: "OMG! What the actual f—" which she interrupts with: "Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow."

"The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team," he then confessed, though added: "While I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."
