The 1975’s Matty Healy has fired back at Malaysian officials since the nation banned the group from returning, after Healy, 34, kissed his male bandmate in front of concertgoers over the weekend.
According to a now-deleted Instagram Story published on Saturday, Healy poked fun at the country’s ruling by posting a bunch of photos of both him and bassist Ross MacDonald.
“Ok well why don’t you try and not make out for Ross for 20 years,” read the caption. “Not as easy as it looks.”
Healy followed the joke with an image of a hat placed atop a map showing the country of Malaysia.
The dig comes after the British pop-rock band’s outspoken lead singer took the stage Friday at the Good Vibes Festival Friday at the Asian nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Healy, who is known for being very proactive and bordering on controversial, took the opportunity to slam the country’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws.
“I made a mistake. When we were booking shows, I wasn’t looking into it,” Healy admitted to his fans.
