Matty Healy: Celebs Rumors

The 1975 are promoting their ‘Still… At Their Very Best’ tour with a video starring Matty Healy that parodies American political adverts.The video shows Healy playing the role of a politician, and is seen visiting a soup kitchen, talking to law enforcement and going to a building site.“Here in the heart of America, we know that redemption is more than just a word,” Healy is heard saying over dramatic aerial shots.“It’s a promise we make to ourselves and to each other. Our nation’s story is one of second chances, of forging a path forward even in the face of mistakes.“It’s about rebuilding what’s broken, healing what’s wounded, and coming together to create something stronger than before.“But redemption isn’t just an abstract idea. It’s something we see every day in our community.

Next week, The 1975 will restart their world tour in North America before heading to the rest of the world. Since those dates were originally announced in the summer, the band’s frontman Matty Healy has gone from the enfant terrible of pop music to, uh, the adulte terrible of pop music thanks to heightened scrutiny over offensive podcast comments made earlier in the year, a brief romance with Taylor Swift, and forcing the cancelation of a Malaysian music festival thanks to an onstage same-sex kiss (that festival has ordered the band to pay $2.5 million or face court proceedings).

The 1975‘s Matty Healy has deleted his X/Twitter account after Lucy Dacus hit back at an ableist post from the singer.On his new account @mattyfrnglomg, Healy shared a post related to Dacus’ band Boygenius, of whom his frequent collaborator Phoebe Bridgers is a member.He wrote: “I told Lucy Dacus that ‘Boygenius’ had inspired me and [The 1975 drummer] George [Daniel] to start a new band called ‘Girlretard’. I don’t really hear from her that often.”In response, Dacus replied: “You don’t hear from me at all.” Healy then referenced the incident in a separate tweet, saying: “Yeah this never goes well does it,” before deactivating his account.See the posts below.Matty Healy deactivated after Lucy Dacus of boygenius responded to his tweet about her and the band.
