Matty Healy says The 1975 will be going on ‘indefinite hiatus’

The 1975 is looking for a break after a two-year tour.

Matty Healy, the eccentric frontman for the English rock group, revealed Tuesday that the group would be taking an “indefinite hiatus” after their current tour wrapped in 2024.

“It’s wonderful you’re all here,” said Healy, 34, in an Instagram Live that was posted to X (formerly Twitter). “After this tour, we will be going on an indefinite hiatus with shows.”

“So it’s wonderful to have you guys with us tonight. Thank you so much,” he continued. “We always love … playing for you guys whenever we have the chance. It’s wonderful you’re all here.”

The English group’s announcement comes a mere month after the band’s manager, Jamie Oborne, seemingly teased the hiatus while promoting their European concert dates.

“The final The 1975 dates of this era and for quite a while go on sale next week. Xx,” Oborne wrote on Instagram at the time.

“The 1975 going on a break is the worst news I’ve ever received,” said a second user.

“Please say sike,” a third added.

Not everyone was choked up about the hiatus though.

“You will not be missed,” sneered one fan.

“You reap what you sow,” jeered a second person. “What goes around comes around.”

Healy’s announcement comes after the frontman split from pop singer Taylor Swift in June.

The career update also comes after Healy and the group were officially banned from performing in Malaysia after he broke the country’s anti-LGBT laws and kissed bassist Ross Macdonald.

Swift, 33, and Healy were spotted kissing in New York City and leaving Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Nashville, Tennessee, together.

A source later told Page Six that Swift, who has been spotted with Travis Kelce as of late, simply needed to “let off some steam” with Healy after her very public breakup from Joe Alwyn in April.

“I made a mistake. When we were booking shows, I wasn’t looking into it,” Healy admitted to his fans.“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.”

“Ok well why don’t you try and not make out for Ross [Macdonald] for 20 years,” wrote Healey in a now-deleted Instagram post mocking the ban. “Not as easy as it looks.”

The dig came after the British pop-rock band’s outspoken lead singer took the stage at the Good Vibes Festival Friday at the Asian nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Healy took the opportunity to slam the country’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws at the time “I made a mistake. When we were booking shows, I wasn’t looking into it,” Healy admitted to his fans. “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.”

Following the stunt, the Malaysian government canceled the three-day festival, citing “controversial conduct and remarks.”

The Good Vibes Festival released a statement shortly after and apologized to ticket holders.

“We sincerely apologize to all our ticket holders, vendors, sponsors, and partners,” the statement read. “We are aware of the time, energy and efforts you have put into making this festival a success, and we value your steadfast support.”
