Cheating CEOs are safe at Oasis concerts, reassured singer Liam Gallagher.
“Do we have any lovebirds in the house?” the frontman asked the audience at an Oasis concert in England on Sunday. “Don’t worry, we ain’t got any of that Coldplay, snidey fucking camera shit. It doesn’t matter to us who you’re fucking mingling with, or tingling with or fingering with. None of our fucking business.”
Gallagher was, of course, referencing the recent viral clip from a Coldplay concert, at which the CEO of data operations start-up Astronomer was caught on camera embracing one of his employees. When they were broadcast on the jumbotron at the Massachusetts arena, the two quickly moved away from each other and hid their faces, leading to speculation that they were having an affair.
“Oh look at these two,” remarked Coldplay singer Chris Martin as the couple was shown on screen. “Uh oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
A video from the concert uploaded to social media racked up hundreds of millions of views in just a few days, leading to the resignation of the CEO, Andy Byron. “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” read a statement from the company. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.” Pete DeJoy stepped up as interim CEO of Astronomer as the company looks for a new leader.
