The scandal erupted during a show in Massachusetts when the Jumbotron unexpectedly caught the pair in a moment that sparked widespread speculation and criticism online.

At the band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour stop at Craven Park in Kingston upon Hull, England, as per Page Six reports, Chris Martin addressed the incident with his trademark charm and humor. “We are so happy to be here. Many of you have written signs. So, I’ll take some time to try and read some signs. Then we’ll see what happens,” he said, acknowledging the playful tradition that connects Coldplay with its audience.
