The CEO of Tech Firm Astronomer resigned after a video that appears to be showing two senior staff members in a hug at a Coldplay concert.
The company posted a statement on its social media channels on Saturday, and it is said that Andy Byron was showing that during the band's concert in Boston, Byron and another astronomer senior manager had arms around each other.
In the subsequent social media storm, the pair is said to be cheating.
Astronomers previously said Byron was on vacation, but the company has yet to confirm that he is on video.
However, on Saturday afternoon, the company said Byron's resignation would be accepted by the board and would begin searching for the next CEO.
“Previously this week, we've been known as pioneers in the DataOps space, helping our data teams move everything from modern analytics to production AI,” the company's statement reads.

“Our perception may have changed overnight, but our products and our work for our customers aren't. We continue to do our best. We help our customers with the most demanding data and AI issues.”
In the virus clip, the pair appears on the arm-holding “kiss cam” video screen. Once they noticed that the intimate moment had been projected onto the big screen, the man quickly fell out of sight, and the woman began to hide her face.
Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, listened to in a clip about the annoying moment, saying, “They are either cheating or are very shy.”
In a statement a day ago, the company said on Friday that it had begun a “formal investigation” into the issue.
He also rejected a statement claiming it was from Byron, which is widely distributed on social media as fakes, saying he has not commented on the issue yet.
