Chris Martin, a singer at Craven Park, mentioned using a ” kiss cam” on the tour after a scandal just weeks ago when Coldplay performed in Hull earlier this week.
Coldplay’s Chris Martin has addressed the band’s decision to continue using a ‘kiss cam’ at their concerts following a scandal earlier on their latest tour. He spoke about the situation at the first of their shows in the UK this week.
Last month, there was controversy after two people were seen getting cosy at one of the band’s concert in the US. They were later named as Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron, who are reportedly married but not to each other.
Following the gig in Boston, Massachusetts, Chris, 48, later teased that the ‘kiss cam’ would continue on the Music of the Spheres tour. He’s since spoken about the decision to engage with audiences in that way on the world tour.
As reported by HullLive, he made reference to the scandal at the first of their gigs at Craven Park in Hull on Monday. It’s just one of two European cities, alongside London, that feature on Coldplay’s tour schedule for this year.
He made the reference as he wrestled with the crowd and attempted to read out the raised signs. The phrase “Thank you for letting us visit,” is one that Chris says at one point while he isn’t performing on stage at the time.
He continues, “We’re so happy to be here,” he tells the audience that evening. Additionally, many of you have written signs. So, I’ll take some time to read some warning signs. So we’ll see what happens, then, okay”?
He is heard saying, “First of all,’three times in three months,’ and you were at that Boston gig.” as he tries to read one of the signs. Later, Chris responded, “Well, okay, thank you for coming back after that debacle.”
Later, he later addressed the audience and introduced the ” kiss cam “, according to the outlet. Chris made it known that the band would continue to include the feature at their shows in an effort to engage some audience members.
He claimed that “we’ve been]interrupting television shows for a long time to talk to fans, and it only recently became a… yeah. You have to make lemonade because life throws you lemons, so yeah. We will continue doing it because some of you will be there, so we’ll meet you.
Moments during the ” kiss cam ” at the Boston Gillette Stadium last month went viral on social media. The two audience members were seen on a balcony. Chris addressed the pair, who appeared to be holding hands while swaying to the music. “Oh look at these two”!
They were also spotted reacting to what was being screened on a screen. One of them ducked out of the camera’s view while the other quickly covered their faces before turning their backs on. Chris continued, “Alright. Please, you are all right.
He made an appearance before making fun of their reactions, saying, “Oh what? ” to the audience at the venue during the performance. They may be having an affair or just be very shy. He begins to say, “I’m not quite sure,” as the video ends.
The pair hid from the camera after being initially spotted snuggling up together, and the audience began to laugh. However, after the gig, fans later started to cheer and even whined as Chris made fun of the situation.
