On Saturday night's performance at the Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, Chris said: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd.
"We're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.
"So please, if you haven't done your make-up, do your make-up now."
But the warning was clearly a nod to the alleged cheating exposed at the Gillete Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts earlier in the week.
Crowds members laughed and whooped at his words, revelling in the saga which has gripped the internet for the best part of a week.
The lead singer's jibe was not the only reference to the scandal.
One concert-goer brandished a large sign declaring: "HE'S NOT MY CEO," with an arrow pointing to the man next to her.
Since getting caught red-handed, Andy Byron has resigned as Astronomer's CEO, according to an update from the company.
He had held the position since July 2023.
A statement from the firm said: "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO."
Panicked Byron and Cabot - who both have families of their own - were seen rushing for cover after being left red-faced in the packed stadium.
Their reaction to being filmed has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about the alleged affair.
And more footage captured from behind their seats, obtained by TMZ, shows the pair silhouetted by stage lights as Coldplay performed 'Yellow'.
Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman, commented live on stage: 'They're either having an affair… or they're very shy.'

Seconds later, Byron dropped his arm and ducked behind a barrier while Cabot covered her face.
As he caught view of himself, Byron appeared to say "f****** hell, it's me".
Martin added, laughing nervously: 'Oh s***, I hope we didn't do something bad.'
A night later, Martin cracked a joke with another couple on the kiss cam after accidentally catching the tech boss allegedly cheating with his HR chief.
The fan who captured the original kiss cam moment told The U.S. Sun she had no idea the couple were senior tech executives.
She said: 'I just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. A part of me feels bad… but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.'
Even longer footage has since dropped, showing the full reaction of panicked "mistress" Kristin Cabot.
Further revelations have since emerged claiming Cabot is still married to another powerful CEO.
Property records obtained by the Daily Mail from earlier this year list the couple as "husband and wife".

Inside Scotland's shark hotspots – as expert reveals where to find world's second-largest fish
Shark Week has been a Discovery Channel staple for nearly 40 years. Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MARINE expert has called on Scots to get their teeth into Shark Week - so they learn more about the amazing big fish in Scottish waters. Dr James Thorburn, of Edinburgh Napier University, reckons people assume they have to travel thousands of miles to find interesting aquatic life.

Credit: Alamy But he insists there's plenty of amazing animals much closer to home that would get people hooked on learning more about what's under the sea. And there's no better time than Shark Week - a Discovery Channel staple for nearly 40 years. James, Associate Professor in Marine Ecology, said: "Sharks are often deeply misunderstood, largely due to their portrayal in films and television as mindless killers, as seen in movies like Jaws and other shark-attack thrillers. "These depictions fuel fear rather than understanding, even though shark attacks are incredibly rare and most species - such as those in Scottish waters - pose no threat to humans. "Events like Shark Week can be a double-edged sword: while some content still leans into sensationalism that can support misconceptions and fears about these animals, it also serves as a powerful platform to educate the public, highlight the ecological importance of sharks, and promote conservation." The academic points out that Scotland is home to certain species that have been almost entirely eradicated elsewhere in the world. While there's others that will swim in and out of our shores depending on the time of year that are more difficult to catch a glimpse of. He said: "Scotland's waters host a remarkable number of sharks, skates, and rays, collectively known as elasmobranchs, with over 60 recorded species, ranging from permanent residents to occasional visitors. "Among Scotland's most iconic elasmobranchs is the basking shark, the second-largest fish in the world, growing up to 11 metres. Seasonal visitors to our waters, their appearance provides valuable opportunities to study their migratory patterns and ecological role, particularly in hotspots such as the Sea of the Hebrides. "The porbeagle shark is another amazing species found in Scottish waters year-round. They are more commonly found off the north and west coasts, particularly around Orkney, Shetland, and the Minch. Surfer is HEADBUTTED by airborne shark & says 'I'm happy its mouth wasn't open' "Another flagship species is the critically endangered flapper skate, Europe's largest skate, which can reach lengths of over 2.5 metres. Once widespread across Europe, flapper skate populations have drastically declined due to historical overfishing, leaving Scotland as one of their last strongholds." Recent advancements in technology also mean that finding sharks and identifying the species has never been easier - even though it's still a tricky task. He added: "Recent developments have significantly advanced our understanding of Scotland's sharks, skates, and rays. Surveys and research have shown that Scotland's sea lochs and deep inshore waters are vital habitats for elasmobranchs. "The Firth of Lorn supports a resident population of flapper skate, while Loch Etive has emerged as a key site for spurdog, a small shark species present in coastal waters year-round. "Large numbers of skate egg cases have been discovered at key nursery sites such as the Inner Sound of Skye, prompting protection. "Innovative tools like AI-powered photo ID and citizen science collaborations with anglers are tracking individual animals and mapping movements. Scotland's Shark Species There's a number of sharks that are found in Scottish waters. Here's some of the most interesting. Basking shark Basking sharks are the second-largest fish in the world but usually only eat plankton by swimming through the water with their mouths wide open. You're most likely to see this species just off the Scottish shoreline in summer since the temperatures are warmer. Their hotspots are in the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Hebrides. Porbeagle shark A bit chunkier than your average shark, this species can be found several miles offshore because they prefer the deeper water there. They like to eat mackerel and herring and will also feed on bottom-dwelling fish too. The porbeagle shark is closely related to the great white shark as both are from the Lamnidae family Shortfin mako shark Mako's are also unlikely to attack humans and typically make seasonal appearances in Scottish waters. They are one of the fastest shark species in the world and can survive in much colder waters - raising their body temperature higher than that of the depths. They're found in many different parts of the world - including off the coast of Aberdeen more recently after an oil rig worker filmed one. Dogfish shark While most sharks have blue or grey colouring, dogfish sharks have tan bodies with dark brown spots. They usually only grow up to 3ft in length and fishermen often see them as nuisances, because they can get caught in fishing nets or take bait meant for much larger fish. It's not easy to spot them because they prefer sandy ground and tend to live and feed close to the seabed. "These efforts highlight strong site fidelity, seasonal patterns, and even international connectivity with waters around Europe, underscoring the need for cross-border conservation." James credits Scotland for being proactive in its conservation efforts to protect sharks and other species. For example, the Loch Sunart to the Sound of Jura MPA has seen flapper skate numbers increase since restrictions on mobile fishing gear were introduced. While Red Rocks and Longay, on the Inner Sound of Skye, was declared a Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area (MPA) after the discovery of an exceptional flapper skate egg nursery. The Sea of the Hebrides MPA is also protecting basking shark hotspots, while several areas within Scottish Seas were proposed for the global Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) initiative that aims to identify the world's most important zones for conservation. Despite all of the impressive work that's already been done, James wants to see more collaboration on conservation efforts to ensure sharks remain in Scottish waters for a long time to come. He said: "Historically, angler-based projects like the Scottish Shark Tagging Programme and the Glasgow Museum Tagging projects helped designate current MPAs for elasmobranchs. "More recently, research on sharks, skates, and rays in Scotland is rapidly expanding, driven by both academic initiatives and citizen science. "A wide range of technologies is being used to enhance our understanding of these elusive species, including sophisticated tags to track movements, genetics to understand how populations are connected, underwater cameras to observe these animals in their natural habitat, and artificial intelligence to help us fully investigate the data generated from this technology. "Organisations like the Orkney Skate Trust are also collecting regional data on sharks, skates and rays to enhance our understanding of these species in Island regions. "The other great thing in Scotland is that people work together on large projects such as the MASTS-funded SharkScape project - led by Edinburgh Napier University. This collaborative approach is generating high-quality scientific data while raising public awareness and strengthening conservation efforts. "Together, these efforts are building a much clearer picture of how elasmobranchs use Scottish waters, informing better management and protection."

The account also wrote: "Saw this on BBC today. Could this be the death blow for Download at Donington? "I know some people have said the site as it stands is insufficient, but it would be a shame to move from our spiritual home." Meanwhile on Facebook in a Download Festival [2026] group, another user wrote: "Just been told 2026 could possibly be the last at Donington Park due to this." The worried words were accompanied by an emotional red angry face emoji.
