Coldplay’s Chris Martin Bounces Back From Astronomer Kiss-Cam Scandal With Sweet Serenade of Soccer Legend Lionel Messi & Wife

The football legend made a special appearance at the band's show in Miami Gardens on Sunday night (July 27).

There’s more news about Coldplay‘s infamous “kiss-cam,” except this time the happy couple caught canoodling were all smiles. In the wake of the mega-viral Astronomer scandal in which the CEO Andy Byron resigned after getting caught hugging an HR employee during a Coldplay gig in Boston earlier this month, during the band’s gig in Miami Gardens, Fla. on Sunday night (July 27) soccer legend Lionel Messi was caught grinning ear-to-ear and waving when the cameras zoomed in on him and wife Antonela Roccuzzo enjoying the show.

As fans started chanting “Messi! Messi!” for the Inter Miami FC football star, singer Chris Martin busted out a spontaneous musical homage to the hometown hero, crooning, “Well, Lio, my beautiful brother/ You and your wife are looking so fine/ Thanks for coming today to see our band play/ The No. 1 sportsperson of all time.”
