Matt Healy paid tribute to Lewis Capaldi at TRNSMT, saying he would dedicate the whole of his next concert at Leeds and Reading festival to the Scots star because he couldn’t make it.And The 1975 frontman admitted he preferred playing TRNSMT without drugs as he closed the final day of the music weekender.

Healy was just what the doctor ordered as he performed in his lab coat and glasses at the festival.Cigarette in hand, the eccentric star bopped around to his tracks including Happiness, putting it down and taking off his spectacles as he played piano and beckoned to the crowd.Matt laughed hysterically as he asked: ”How you feeling babies?” Tracks like Love Me and Oh Caroline got the crowd swaying as well as Matt.Bottle in hand, he told his crowd: “Alright, alright this is fun.

There’s loads of you. Loads of lads."How’s the lads doing? Alright lads? Woah – this one’s for the boys cause we only have sports to say we love each other but I love you.”Songs like Heartbeat got heads nodding before Matt admitted last time he played the fest he was heavily under the influence.He later told the crowd: “Well the crazy thing with being on drugs is, it really highlights when you are not on drugs.

That was a very not-on-drugs moment for me. Why would you want to put a wall between that.”He then paid tribute to Glasgow and said this is where he plays "f***ing amazing gigs," as he reminisced about King Tut's.Matt, who brought his famous dad and Benidorm star Tim with him to Glasgow, also admired the people on the giant ferris wheel, saying it was a "camp thing to do".
