The 1975’s Matty Healy has made headlines for his controversial onstage behavior, his dating history and more — what to know
He’s part of the band. Singer Matty Healy has made headlines over the years for his onstage antics — and for his personal life.
Healy, 34, rose to fame in 2013 with the release of The 1975’s self-titled debut album, but the band was formed more than a decade prior with his childhood pals Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel. Their singles “Chocolate,” “Sex” and “Robbers” helped launch the group to mainstream success.
The 1975 has since released four more records from 2016 to 2022. Their journey to the top of the charts, however, wasn’t easy as Healy struggled with drug addiction. His bandmates funded his 2017 rehab stay in Barbados.
“Honestly, it’s difficult for me because my whole fear was becoming a beacon of sobriety and I’m not that anyway. And, you know, I’ve had my issues over the last two years,” he told GQ in 2019, reflecting on his highs and lows.
