The "kiss cam" isn't going anywhere.

Coldplay's Chris Martin defended the band's use of a jumbotron to spotlight fans in the crowd during their concerts, a move they have been doing at shows for "a long time" but that got major attention after a "debacle" where one notable couple was caught allegedly having an affair during the band's stop in Boston.

At their Music of the Spheres tour stop in Hull, England, on Monday (August 18), Martin cheekily addressed the now-viral moment the camera captured former Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and Astronomer's former HR chief Kristin Cabot embracing before awkwardly turning away when the camera put their faces on screen, Page Six reports. They have since both resigned from their positions in the company.

"We've been doing this for a long time, and it is only recently that it became a ... yeah," he said, per HullLive. "Life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it because we are going to meet some of you."

Martin also made sure to note that the crowd camera "never will be, and never was a kiss cam," TMZ reports.

"This is called a jumbotron, and we've done this for a long, long time. We pick people out to say hello. And sometimes they turn out to become an internationally massive scandal, sure," he said, laughing. "But most of the time we're just trying to say hello to some f---ing people, that's all!"

The viral clip made headlines due to the nature of the individuals involved, but it also led to some unexpected responses, including from Oasis. The band referenced the alleged cheating scandal during a show in Manchester, U.K. days after the initial incident and told fans they had nothing to worry about as they weren't filming the crowd.
