The 1975\u2019s future is looking pretty \u201cindefinite.\u201d<\/p>\n
During a show in Sacramento, California on Tuesday, frontman Matty Healy<\/strong> made a shocking announcement: the band will be going on an \u201cindefinite hiatus\u201d after their At Their Very Best<\/em> tour wraps in March of 2024! In footage captured by fans, the About You<\/em> singer began to break the news with a bit of appreciation for concertgoers:<\/p>\n \u201cWe love coming to this place and playing for you guys whenever we have the chance, and it\u2019s wonderful you\u2019re all here.\u201d<\/p>\n But then, he switched gears and cut to the chase:<\/p>\n \u201cAfter this tour we will be going on an indefinite hiatus of shows so it\u2019s wonderful to have you guys with us tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n Oof. See (below):<\/p>\n As of now, it\u2019s unclear if that means the group is just taking some rest after their lengthy tour, or if the band is, well, breaking up. However, we can\u2019t help but feel some of the decision has to do with Matty\u2019s recent controversies\u2026<\/p>\n If you remember, he got a Malaysian music festival shut down in July after kissing bassist Ross MacDonald<\/strong> on stage in protest of the strict anti-LGBT laws. That, in and of itself isn\u2019t problematic<\/em> per se — we applaud the intent. But some fans on X<\/strong> (Twitter<\/strong>) quickly slammed the move for potentially making things \u201cworse\u201d in the Asian country.<\/p>\n That, we\u2019re afraid, was just the tip of the iceberg, though. There have been claims he\u2019s racist, antisemitic, anti-Muslim, there was that time he did a Nazi salute on stage! And of course, who could forget that infamous podcast that resurfaced, in which he admitted to getting off on extreme porn of women of color being brutalized? AND those unsavory comments about Taylor Swift<\/strong> and Ice Spice<\/strong>?! You can catch up on all of it HERE.<\/p>\n What do you think of the band\u2019s decision to go on a break, Perezcious readers?? Sound OFF in the comments down below!<\/p>\n
