Matty Healy reportedly tried to buy the flat at the centre of the Night & Day Cafe dispute

The 1975 frontman Matty Healy reportedly tried to buy the flat at the centre of the Night & Day Cafe noise dispute in an effort to help save the venue.The venue’s future was put under threat over the past couple of years, after it faced a noise complaint from a resident who had moved to Manchester during the lockdown. The partner of the man who raised the noise complaint against Night & Day told a court that he’d become a “recluse” and lost 30kg due to stress.Now, the man has given his side of the story to the media for the first time and told The Manchester Mill about the time Healy offered to buy the flat as a means of resolving the dispute.Healy had grown up in Alderley Edge, 12 miles south of Manchester, and had previously pledged his support for the venue when it first came under threat.

Yungblud responds to online spat with The 1975’s Matty Healy: “It’s all fucking entertainment”

Yungblud has spoken to NME about his online spat with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, saying that he found it “quite funny” and branding it as “all fucking entertainment”.The pair came to blows last year when Healy received criticism online for his appearance on The Adam Friedland Show podcast, during which the frontman said he believed Harry Styles “gets a pass” on criticism over alleged “queer-baiting” and discussed New York rapper Ice Spice‘s heritage – debating whether she has Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese heritage and impersonating the accents of those countries and regions.Healy later apologised to Ice Spice over the comments, as well as all the other people he “hurt” while playing the “character role of 21st Century rock star”.At the time of the podcast, Yungblud penned a now-viral Tweet in which he took aim at Healy and the hosts, writing: “Love listening to three privileged white dudes sit around and objectify a young black female artist who’s blowing up. Welcome to your 30’s I guess.”love listening to three privileged white dudes sit around and objectify a young black female artist who’s blowing up.

The 1975’s Matty Healy apologises to people he’s “hurt” while playing “character role of 21st Century rock star”

Matty Healy of The 1975 has issued an apology to those that he has “hurt” while trying to take on the “character role of 21st Century rock star”.The singer-songwriter expressed regret over his recent behaviour while on stage with The 1975, noting that he has been at the centre of controversy due to “playing pretend”, and trying to embody what he sees as a modern rock attitude.A recent example of this controversy came after he participated in a discussion about New York rapper Ice Spice during an appearance on The Adam Friedland Show. On the show, Friedland and co-host Nick Mullen discussed the heritage of the rapper, debating whether she has Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese, before impersonating the accents of those countries and regions.While Healy didn’t participate in the mocking of accents, he did laugh along with the podcast hosts. The episode has since been taken down.Now, the singer has issued an apology to all of the people he has “hurt” due to his behaviour, and promised to “do better” in the future.“Because some of my actions have hurt some people, I apologise to those people, and I pledge to do better moving forward,” he told the audience.

The 1975 promote tour using fake Matty Healy political ad

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.
