Chris Martin confirms 'Kiss Cam' stays despite past controversy

Following a July 2025 incident during a Coldplay concert in Boston—where a Kiss-Cam moment involving two married executives went viral and led to their resignations—frontman Chris Martin addressed the controversy during a recent show in Hull.
With his trademark wit, Martin encouraged anyone wary of the staring screen to “duck down,” yet confirmed the Kiss Cam would stay, framing it as part of the band’s longstanding show ritual.
The issue stirred online debate about privacy and concert norms, but Martin's public reassurance has reassured UK audiences that the interactive segment remains part of the Coldplay experience.
