Matty Healy thought he was 'going to prison' after kissing The 1975 bandmate during Malaysia gig
ok.co.ukMatty Healy has revealed that he thought he might be sent to prison after sharing an onstage kiss with bandmate Ross MacDonald during a gig in Malaysia, where homosexuality is illegal.
The kiss occurred during the Good Vibes Festival, when during The 1975's set, Matty announced: "I don’t see the f**king point of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we can have sex with. "Unfortunately you don’t get a set of loads of uplifting songs because I’m f**king furious." He then proceeded to kiss Ross, which ended up with the band being banned from Malaysia, and cause the next two days of the festival to be cancelled.
And at a subsequent gig, this time in Hawaii, the singer has addressed this controversy, telling the crowd: "All I’ll say is that I don’t give a f**k about any white saviour complex b******s. "What I’ll say is that doing the right thing often requires quite a lot of sacrifice and very little reward.
And being seen to do the right thing requires very little sacrifice, and that’s when you get all the rewards." He then added that he and Ross had planned to shave their heads following the gig, as they thought they might end up "going to prison for being f**s." And although he may now be banned from Malaysia, Matty's mum Denise Welch showed some support for her son.
