Oasis' Liam Gallagher gives kiss cam reassurance after scandal
The Coldplay 'kiss cam' controversy has been one of the biggest talking points of the last week and now Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has had his say.
He told the crowd during Oasis' last Manchester gig of their reunion tour "any lovebirds" wanting to avoid the big screen had nothing to worry about.
'Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay, snidey f****** camera s***. It doesn't matter to us who you're f****** mingling with, or tingling with or fingering with. None of our f****** business," he said in true Liam Gallagher fashion.
The scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and a female colleague eventually led to his resignation. Footage of Byron and his company's Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot went global when they awkwardly jumped out of each other's arms as they flashed up on a 'kiss cam' during a Coldplay show in Boston.

At least 20 dead as jet crashes into school
A Bangladesh Air Force training aircraft crashed into a school in Dhaka, the capital, shortly after takeoff on Monday afternoon (local time), catching fire and killing the pilot and at least 19 other people, most of whom were students, officials said.
Another 171 students were rescued with injuries from a smoldering two-story building, officials said, including many with burns who were whisked away in helicopters, motorized rickshaws and the arms of firefighters and parents.
The Chinese-made F-7 BGI training aircraft experienced a 'technical malfunction' moments after takeoff at 1.06pm, and the pilot attempted to divert the plane to a less populated area before crashing into the campus of Milestone School and College, according to a statement from the military.
Students said the school's buildings trembled violently, followed by a big explosion that sent them running for safety. A desperate scene soon unfolded at the crash site, as panicked relatives searched for loved ones. Screams filled the air at a nearby hospital.

Kristin Cabot resigns from Astronomer after Coldplay kiss-cam scandal, company confirms
The news comes days after The software company confirmed on July 19 that Byron had resigned, with cofounder Pete DeJoy sliding in to serve as interim CEO. Byron and Cabot, who held the title of chief people officer at Astronomer, vaulted to Internet infamy when a 'kiss cam' at a July 16 Coldplay concert in Foxborough captured the pair canoodling. Advertisement Coldplay's Chris Martin accidentally exposes astronomer CEO Andy Byron having an affair with his HR chief Kristin Cabot. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) Cabot, wearing a sleeveless black dress, immediately covered her face and turned her back on the camera. Byron, a little slower on the draw, ducked out of the frame. They're both married to other people, at least as of this writing. 'Oh, look at these two,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said from the stage. 'Uh oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' A couple of apparently clueless concertgoers in Byron and Cabot's box were seen cheering as the coworkers ducked out of the frame. The incident, caught on video, spread quickly on social media, where one post has been viewed more than 60 million times. The company said at the time of Byron's resignation that the incident was no laughing matter, releasing a statement that said company leaders 'are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' Advertisement Prior to the kiss cam debacle, 'we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space,' the company said. 'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not.' Real estate records indicate that Byron and his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, purchased a home in Northborough. Neither Byron nor Cabot have publicly announced their next professional roles. Material from prior Globe stories was used in this report. Travis Andersen can be reached at

Female HR exec caught on Coldplay cam resigns after embrace with CEO went viral
The female executive who was caught on camera embracing the CEO of her company at a Coldplay concert in a moment that went viral has resigned. The company, Astronomer, confirmed that its executive in charge of human resources has left. 'Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned,' spokesman Taylor Jones said in a brief statement. Her departure follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation. The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song' during the concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera while Byron ducked out of the frame. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet. When the video first spread online it wasn't immediately clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities. The company has previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP. Both of their profiles have been now removed from Astronomer's website and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted. Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

Kelly Osbourne mourns dad Ozzy's death with sentimental post
Kelly Osbourne, the famous daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, is speaking out after his death. Kelly, 40, posted an Instagram story with a black screen and a broken heart emoji, accompanied by the text "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had." The caption references the opening line to Black Sabbath's 1972 ballad "Changes." Osbourne, who died Tuesday, July 22, at 76, was the band's longtime vocalist. "Changes," off of Black Sabbath's 1972 album "Vol. 4," is one of the more sentimental songs among the group's heavy metal anthems. In 2003, Osbourne and Kelly released a duet of the track rewritten to match their own story. The tender father-daughter remake served as a microcosm for the rocker's contradictions: a harsh, heavy metal shredder onstage, and a family man behind the scenes. Coldplay gives Ozzy Osbourne an emotional tribute at Nashville concert Osbourne's death was announced by his family earlier this week, who said the rocker had died in his native Birmingham, England, "surrounded by love." "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning," the statement read. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." Ozzy Osbourne thought he'd drink until the day he died. His final years, something changed. He leaves behind Kelly, as well as Sharon Osbourne, his wife of more than 40 years, and children Jessica, Aimee, Elliot, Louis and Jack. Tributes from other stars poured in immediately after the news of Osbourne's death was reported. Elton John called Osbourne "a true legend," and former Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi lamented the "heartbreaking news."
