The 1975's Matt Healy has quit social media. Before deactivating his Instagram account last weekend, he told fans during a concert in Adelaide, Austrailia, “It’s because everything happens in eras. The 1975 is a very eras band. The era of me being a f*cking arsehole is coming to an end. I’ve had enough.”
He continued, “I perform all the time and it’s my job and I love doing this but I can’t perform off the stage anymore as I just want to be a bloke.”
Back in 2020, Healy deactivated his Twitter account after being criticized for sharing a post about George Floyd that included a link to The 1975’s single ‘”Love It If We Made It.” The track includes the line: “Selling melanin and then suffocate the Black men.”
