				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1975’s Matty Healy, returned to the stage at Newcastle’s Utilia Arena, Sunday For Sammy charity concert. The event is a celebration of local musical talent and entertainment, Healy wowed audiences with acoustic renditions of their favourite The 1975 tunes and classic covers.</p>
<p>The biennial event, first held in 2000, features a wide array of solidified stars and up and coming artists. Charity led, Sunday For Sammy aims to raise funds for creative young performing artists residing in the Northeast. The event hosts two shows, matinee and evening featuring a range of comedy, musical performances and sketches. Over the years, funds from tickets have been transformed into grants for emerging talent.</p>
<p>The latest show was held on Sunday February 15. Typically held every two years, the 2026 show was notoriously special as it was the events first return back since 2020, after the founders faced cost of living hurdles. Taking the stage with an incredible acoustic set, The 1975’s Healy brought tears to countless fans eyes. Among the events chairmen is Healy’s father, Tim Healy making the show all the more special.</p>

<p>His first show since Glastonbury, Healy took the stage in front of the crowd consisting of 5000 attendees with a short but sweet set consisting of four acoustic ballads. The singer songwriter performed The La’s, ‘There She Goes,’ a track that Healy had previously included on a 2020 Apple music playlist of his most influential songs, and James Taylor’s, ‘Carolina In My Mind;’ both first time performances from Healy. Global sensation, ‘About You’ from the band&#8217;s latest album, ‘<em>Being Funny In A Foreign Language’,</em> made its stage return during the set alongside a fan favourite, ‘It’s Not Living If It’s Not With You.’ Both tracks were performed as stripped-down editions making for an incredibly emotional set.</p>
<p>The 1975’s frontman’s set was labeled as ‘Matty Healy and Friends’, but fans had no inkling that Healy would grace the stage with the presence of chart-topper Lewis Capaldi.  Pre-meditating the performance, Healy shared with the crowd that he was welcoming someone “rather shy and bashful” to the stage, before Capaldi stole the hearts of each individual in presence by performing his number one hit ‘Someone You Loved.’ Maintaining a close relationship, Capaldi had previously joined The 1975 on stage at the same arena four years earlier.</p>
<p>A highly anticipated new record from The 1975 is expected this year. Healy recently shared his thought process regarding the new work on Reddit, reminding fans that he is in fact working on music behind the scenes. Production may be boosted once Healy has finished his round of pursuing side quests, including that of helping jumpstart a fans car. The photographic footage from this haphazard event was shared to TikTok resulting in a great deal of confused fans.</p>
<p>Fans everywhere are overjoyed to see Healy’s stage return especially in such a warming environment. We can only hope there are more The 1975, or solo Healy shows on the horizon.</p>

The album’s artwork is a nod to The 1975’s Manchester roots &#8211; a series of photos of the city’s suburb Bosden Farm, capturing the dreamy essence that purposefully juxtaposes the band’s upbeat, synth-heavy sound.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

<p>This latest announcement marks The 1975’s third live record, following 2023’s <em>‘At Their Very Best’</em> live album from their Madison Square Garden, New York show November 7 2022. The album transferred to big screen audiences, also released as an <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/1975-Their-Madison-Square-Garden/dp/B0B8QB6SNV" target="_blank">Amazon Prime Exclusive </a>film. This compilation featured many tracks in common with the latest release, albeit starring more singles from ‘<em>Being Funny In A Foreign Language’</em> &#8211; the band’s first live run of this particular album.  This isn’t the only major news from The 1975 this week: The BRIT Award-winning band were announced as <a href="https://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/glastonbury-announces-star-sudden-lineup-for-their-2025-edition/" target="_blank">this year’s Glastonbury festival</a> Friday night headliners. The quartet &#8211; Matty Healy (vocals/guitar), George Daniel (drums), Adam Hann (lead guitar) and Ross MacDonald (bass guitar) &#8211; will take to the Pyramid stage June 26, alongside other co-main acts, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young. Although tickets were snapped up quickly in November, fans can anticipate a traditional resale in April, with <a href="https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/" target="_blank">more information</a> to follow. This will be the third time the band play the world-renowned festival, having previously made appearances in 2014 and 2016, and signalling the end of their “<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/glastonbury-2025-headliners-revealed-tickets-line-up-1235915362/" target="_blank">indefinite hiatus”</a> since the ‘Still…At Their Very Best’ tour’s finale in March 2024.</p>

<p>The Manchester-native band are also rumoured to have <a href="https://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975s-financial-success-and-upcoming-plans/" target="_blank">new material</a> in the works &#8211; January 2, they took to Instagram to reveal a photo of frontman Matty Healy at work in an instrument-packed studio. Despite no caption, this spurred supposed <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/matty-healy-taylor-swift-song-god-has-entered-my-body-comment-1235878992/" target="_blank">news</a> from an unnamed “insider” at The Sun, detailing The 1975’s next record title as possibly <em>‘God Has Entered My Body</em>’, and allegedly featuring lyrical inspiration from <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-1975s-matty-healy-address-taylor-swift-i-would-just-be-lying-if-i-made-a-record-about-my-casual-romantic-liaisons-3806372" target="_blank">Healy and Taylor Swift’s public romance</a> in 2023. In his signature satirical style, the frontman chimed in on a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/the1975/comments/1i51yrn/this_cant_be_real/?rdt=38617" target="_blank">The 1975 subreddit page</a> in response to the rumours: “Huge if true”. This also comes after Healy previously teasing fans November 18 with a <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/has-matty-healy-just-told-us-the-new-album-tracklist-from-the-1975-3813624" target="_blank">since deleted X/Twitter post</a>, revealing a speculated tracklist for an upcoming LP. The post featured titles of a cynical nature, such as ‘Owe God A Death’, ‘We were promised set backs’ and ‘TaxmanTaxmanInjectioHobby’. Once again, Healy kept followers baffled with a subsequent post: “This is my ‘names for our children’ folder”.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

<p>The speculated new material, as of yet, has no determined release date, but will follow the latest <em>‘Still…At Their Very Best’</em> live recording as a studio release. Fans can expect more news about the band’s next venture into new music at this year’s Glastonbury festival.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">British pop-rock band <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-cover-now-is-the-hour-for-jack-antonoffs-the-new-look-soundtrack/" target="_blank">The 1975</a> has solidified its place as one of the UK’s most successful music acts, with <a href="https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/14683533/the-1975-earnings-glastonbury/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">newly released financial reports</a> revealing a staggering £5 million profit from their recent UK tour. The band’s earnings have propelled their cash reserves from £3.3 million to £8.3 million, demonstrating their continued commercial strength in the music industry. In addition to their impressive revenue, The 1975 has also contributed significantly in taxes, with a reported payment of £1.3 million. The news comes as The 1975 prepares for a major year ahead, with a new album anticipated to drop in the summer of 2025.</p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The 1975&#8217;s significant financial success can be attributed to their &#8216;At Their Very Best&#8217; tour, which spanned from 2022 to 2023. This extensive tour supported their fifth studio album &#8216;<em>Being Funny In A Foreign Language</em>&#8216; (2022) and included performances across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. The tour encompassed seven legs with a total of 93 shows, significantly boosting the band&#8217;s financial reserves. Following this, the band embarked on the &#8216;Still&#8230; At Their Very Best&#8217; tour in September 2023, which ended in March 2024 and further bolstered their financial success.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matty Healy is said to be planning to <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-1975s-matty-healy-reportedly-planning-to-write-about-taylor-swift-relationship-on-new-album-3830184" target="_blank">write about his relationship with Taylor Swift </a>on the next album from The 1975.</p>
<p>Despite saying before that he didn’t intend to write about his brief romances, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/32877142/matty-healy-taylor-swift-fling-1975-album/" target="_blank">The Sun have reported</a> that the band’s sixth album allegedly features a track called ‘God Has Entered My Body’, including the lyric, “<em>Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling</em>”, rumoured to be referencing Swift.</p>
<p>It’s been speculated that the two singers shared a <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a43875285/taylor-swift-matty-healy-relationship-timeline/" target="_blank">short-lived relationship in the summer of 2023</a>, following Swift’s split from actor Joe Alwyn. Fans have theorized that Healy inspired much of the material from her most recent album, <em>The Tortured Poets Department</em>.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RQMz4JDbtmI?si=EX5ecJLDaz8HOPvu" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Swiftie sleuths have pointed to various tracks on the album as mentions of Matty. For example, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQMz4JDbtmI" target="_blank">title track</a> saying: “<em>You smokеd then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared </em><em>Charlie Puth</em><em> should be a bigger artist</em>”. Healy is a heavy smoker and has previously shared his admiration for Charlie Puth – the first line could also be a reference to The 1975’s hit, ‘<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4WiiRw2PHMNQE0ad6y6GdD?si=e9f7a06f56284f6b" target="_blank">Chocolate</a>’.</p>
<p>Whereas other tracks are said to make more subtle allusions to the outspoken rocker, such as “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOYlWF6V8t8" target="_blank">Guilty as Sin</a>?”, as song about a lustful relationship that begins with a reference to Scottish band The Blue Nile, which Healy has said are <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/the-blue-nile-taylor-swift-matty-healy-favourite-band-b1152494.html" target="_blank">his favourite group of all time</a>.</p>
<p>The news of Healy possibly writing about his time with Swift is a surprise, since he said before in an interview with <em>Doomscroll</em> that he has <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/matty-healy-hints-he-wont-write-music-about-taylor-swift/" target="_blank">no desire to write any music about his short-term relationships</a>.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kdCdpnz0wDU?si=HnGvOMRA26pmA5fS" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>“Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons,” he said on the podcast in November, hinting at being the subject of Swift’s album. “I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about and they want to address that, and fair enough.”</p>
<p>“Honestly, I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don’t know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons – or whatever it may be that I’ve kind of become known for just because I was famous.”</p>
<p>Healy himself is currently loved up with his fiancée, <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2024/11/08/matty-healy-fiancee-ramp-pda-steamy-snog-streets-sydney-21958962/" target="_blank">Gabbritte Bechtel</a>. He and the US actress/model were first linked in September 2023, shortly after his breakup with Swift. Bechtel is a musician herself, having been the lead singer for Nasty Cherry, a punk band curated by Charli XCX in 2018.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Taylor is still going strong with her partner, American football player Travis Kelce. After recent <a href="https://www.instyle.com/taylor-swift-infinity-ring-travis-kelce-engagement-fan-theories-8777103" target="_blank">pictures showed her with a new ring</a>, it’s said that an engagement between the two could be on the way.</p>
<p>A singer who’s never been shy of controversy, Healy was recently involved in an online fued with rapper Azealia Banks over X/Twitter, with both musicians trading barbs and threats. Healy has since apologized, whereas Banks has threatened legal action and sought financial compensation – you can <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/azealia-banks-takes-legal-action-against-matty-healy/" target="_blank">read our coverage on their spat here</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Azealia Banks and Matty Healy recently became embroiled in a public feud that escalated into legal threats. It began when Azealia Banks made a critical comment about <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/charli-xcx-to-headline-and-curate-a-party-girl-festival-at-londons-lido-in-summer-2025/" target="_blank">Charli XCX</a>’s appearance on social media, prompting Matty Healy, the frontman of <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-cover-now-is-the-hour-for-jack-antonoffs-the-new-look-soundtrack/" target="_blank">The 1975</a>, to defend Charli (who is engaged to his bandmate George Daniel). Healy accused Banks of being jealous and made remarks about her career, which led to a heated exchange.</p>

A standout example is &#8216;<em>Love It If We Made It</em>&#8216; from their 2018 album &#8216;<em>A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships</em>&#8216;. The song is a chaotic and impassioned reflection on contemporary society, capturing themes such as political unrest, social media culture, celebrity worship, and environmental degradation. <iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Wl1B7DPegc?si=Ey5lqBWpsXpfpi-c" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> Healy has been candid about his personal struggles and is no stranger to <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/matty-healy-addresses-malaysia-controversy-in-lengthy-on-stage-speech/" target="_blank">controversy</a>, often using social media to voice his <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975s-matty-healy-apologises-to-those-he-has-hurt-while-he-was-playing-rock-star-role/" target="_blank">opinions</a>.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">This online spat culminated in Banks issuing a cease-and-desist letter demanding a public apology and $1 million in damages, alleging defamation and threats of violence. In the letter, Banks claimed that Healy&#8217;s statements, including threats to &#8220;slap&#8221; her, were harmful and demanded immediate cessation of defamatory remarks. Social media platforms flagged and removed some of Healy’s posts, citing policy violations. Healy apologized for suggesting violence but stood by his defense of his friends​. He has since deactivated his X account.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Matty Healy has deactivated his X account multiple times in the past, often following controversies or backlash over his statements. For example, in September 2023, he deactivated his account after criticism from Lucy Dacus over an offensive tweet. He has also faced backlash for remarks made about various topics, including sensitive social and cultural issues, prompting him to step away from the platform temporarily or permanently during heated moments​.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Healy has faced significant controversy for comments and actions many view as offensive toward black women and other marginalized groups, which Azealia Banks also drew attention to. One of the most notable incidents involved a February 2023 episode of &#8216;<em>The Adam Friedland Show</em>&#8216; podcast. During this appearance, Healy joined in mocking rapper Ice Spice with racially charged remarks, referring to her as an “Inuit Spice Girl” and a “chubby Chinese lady” while laughing at offensive impressions of Asian accents.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">This case highlights how social media disputes among celebrities can quickly escalate into legal battles, with significant reputational and financial stakes​.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>British pop rock band <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-to-stage-the-first-carbon-removed-event-at-londons-02-arena-in-2024/">The 1975</a> have shared their first single since 2022, a cover of ‘<em>Now Is</em> <em>The Hour</em>’ for the soundtrack of the upcoming Apple TV+ drama series <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXN5Ws7LxkA"><em>The New Look</em></a>. Starring Emmy Award winner Ben Mendelsohn, Oscar recipient Juliette Binoche and Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams, the series will explore the rise of legendary fashion designers Christian Dior and his contemporaries Coco Chanel, Pierre Balmain, and Cristóbal Balenciaga during World War II. Jack Antonoff produced the series soundtrack, which features many of his collaborators and friends covering celebrated songs from the era. Antonoff co-produced The 1975’s fifth studio album ‘<em>Being Funny in a Foreign Language</em>’, and also recorded covers for the soundtrack from other major UK acts such as Florence + The Machine and Beabadoobee.</p>
<p>The 10-song soundtrack’s first single is fronted by Florence + The Machine in a haunting cover of ‘<em>White Cliffs of Dover</em>’ popularised by British singer Vera Lynn. The 1975 followed suit with ‘<em>Now Is The Hour</em>’, a traditional Māori song once used to bid farewell to soldiers leaving to fight in World War I. The piece has been credited to various artists and songwriters over the years but was first made famous in the 1940s and 50s by Hollywood stars like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. The 1975’s Matt Healy offers a hushed, delicate take on the song, with ambient vocals erupting into horns, only to return to a gentle instrumental. The remaining half of the soundtrack features covers from the likes of Perfume Genius, Nick Cave and Lana Del Rey.</p>
<p>The historical drama, which was created by Todd A. Kessler, will span 10 episodes, with the first three episodes set to arrive globally next Wednesday, February 14 on Apple TV+. Meanwhile, The 1975 are set to embark on their upcoming 2024 ‘Still…At Their Very Best’ UK tour this evening, with their first show taking place at the OVO Hydro arena in Glasgow which has seen <a href="https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/24104520.1975-fans-camp-glasgows-ovo-hydro-two-days-gig/">superfans camp out overnight</a> in icy conditions.</p>
<p>Despite a series of controversies looming over Healy last year, the frontman has since made <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975s-matty-healy-apologises-to-those-he-has-hurt-while-he-was-playing-rock-star-role/">a public apology</a> to his fans and those he has allegedly offended. The group boast four sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena, continuing on to their European leg of the tour which will conclude in Copenhagen on March 10. All remaining tickets for the UK tour are available <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/the-1975-tickets/artist/1765575?irgwc=1&amp;utm_source=2862475-NME%20Networks%20Media%20Limited&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=2862475&amp;awtrc=&amp;clickId=zdmQRZTfwxyNUAZWPp1MB0h4UkFyBqTJnTmkXI0&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_2862475&amp;ircid=7559">here</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975s-matty-healy-apologises-to-those-he-has-hurt-while-he-was-playing-rock-star-role/">ever-divisive</a> frontman Matty Healy of Manchester-formed alternative band <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-to-stage-the-first-carbon-removed-event-at-londons-02-arena-in-2024/">The 1975</a> has defended his controversial equal rights stunt &#8211; the same-sex kiss that resulted in his group’s blacklisting from Malaysia.</p>
<p>During The 1975’s headline set at the Good Vibes Festival last July, Healy had attempted to demonstrate his disdain for Malaysian anti-LGBTQ+ laws by locking lips with bassist Ross MacDonald. Thirty minutes later, the band were asked to end their show and leave with immediate effect.</p>
<p>The following day, much to the disappointment of thousands of ticket-holders, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced the cancellation of the entire three-day festival. Naturally, the incident didn’t take long to spark a major online dispute, with many condemning <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rina-sawayama-calls-out-matty-healy-at-glastonbury-festival-2023/">Healy</a> for disrespecting foreign culture.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d6d4B2cGeG4?si=2AmYj5FryBjMmQ8Y" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>In the aftermath, The 1975 faced <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-told-to-pay-2-1m-in-damages-or-face-legal-action-over-malaysia-controversy/">legal action</a>, with the festival’s organiser, Future Sound Asia, demanding the band pay £2 million in damages. Healy and co. heeded their lawyers’ advice and kept quiet about the lawsuit for months, but now, the singer has finally addressed the controversy in a 10-minute speech.</p>
<p>On Monday, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rina-sawayama-appears-to-call-matty-healy-out-a-second-time/">Healy</a> told fans at a Dallas concert that he had been advised not to talk about what happened in Malaysia, but that he had “<em>cracked</em>” and “<em>genuinely just [didn’t] care anymore</em>”. Reading from a prepared statement on his phone, the frontman launched into a lengthy defence of his actions at the Good Vibes Festival:</p>
<p>&#8220;<i>The 1975 did not waltz into Malaysia unannounced &#8211; they were invited to headline a festival by a government who had full knowledge of the band’s well-publicised political views and its routine stage show.</i> […] <i>Me kissing Ross was not a stunt simply meant to provoke the government; it was an ongoing part of The 1975 stage show which had been performed many times prior.</i>”</p>
<p>“<i>To eliminate any routine part of the show in an effort to appease the Malaysian authorities’ bigoted views of LGBTQ people would be a passive endorsement of those politics. As liberals are so fond of saying, ‘silence causes violence, use your platform’, so we did that.</i> […]”</p>
<p>“<i>The Malaysian authorities were irate because homosexuality is criminalised and punishable by death in their authoritarian theocracy. That is the violent reality obscured by the more friendly term “cultural customs.</i>”</p>
<p>The singer described some of the online response as “<i>puzzling</i>”, adding that “<em>l</em><i>ots of people, who appear to be liberal people, contended that the performance was an insensitive display of hostility against the cultural customs of the Malaysian government and that the kiss was a performative gesture of allyship.</i>”</p>
<p>Addressing these claims, Healy remarked: &#8220;<i>The idea of calling out a performer for being performative is mind-numbingly redundant as an exercise. Performing is a performer’s job.</i>”</p>
<p>In defence of accusations that condemned his stunt as a form of colonialism, Healy said that “<em>to call The 1975’s performance colonialism is a complete inversion of the word’s meaning</em>” and that “<em>[they] have no power at all to enforce [their] will on anyone in Malaysia.</em>” In fact, the singer revealed off-handedly that they were briefly imprisoned by the Malaysian authorities.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1975 front-man <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rina-sawayama-appears-to-call-matty-healy-out-a-second-time/">Matty Healy</a> has given an on-stage apology for his past comments and actions, claiming them to be an attempt at being a <em>&#8220;21st century rockstar&#8221;</em>. The apology came on Monday October 2nd while Healy was performing with The 1975 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.</p>
<p>At the Cheshire based group&#8217;s gig, singer Matty Healy <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/matty-healy-says-playing-role-31091175">told</a> the crowd <em>&#8220;Because some of my actions have hurt some people, I apologise to those people, and I pledge to do better moving forward. I think it&#8217;s also important that I express my intentions, so everybody knows that there is no ill will coming from me.</em></p>
<p><em>You see, as an artist, I want to create an environment for myself to perform where not everything that I do is taken literally&#8230; I&#8217;ve kind of performed exaggerated versions of myself on other stages, be it print or on podcasts and in an often misguided attempt at fulfilling the kind of character role of the 21st-century rock star – so, it&#8217;s complicated.</em></p>
<p><em>Sometimes playing pretend is the only way you can truly find out who you are, and you could probably also say that men would rather do offensive impressions for attention than go to therapy.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>An example of when <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/rina-sawayama-calls-out-matty-healy-at-glastonbury-festival-2023/">Healy</a> has offended people happened after he appeared on a now removed episode of The Adam Friedland Show, where he and the show&#8217;s hosts discussed the heritage of American rapper Ice Spice. On the show, there was a debate as to whether the New Yorker was of Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese descent, before impersonating accents from these countries and regions.</p>
<p>In response to these comments, Ice Spice told <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/features/ice-spice-debut-album-taylor-swift-nicki-minaj-1235735903/">Variety</a> <em>&#8220;When I had heard that little podcast or whatever, I was so confused. Because I heard &#8216;chubby Chinese lady&#8217; or some s**t like that, and I’m like, &#8216;Huh? What does that even mean?&#8217; First of all, I’m thick. What do you mean Chinese? What? But then they apologised or whatever. And the whole time, I didn’t really care.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;But that’s funny because I saw him [Matty Healy] at the Jean Paul Gaultier party a couple days ago, and he was like, &#8216;Hey, you OK?&#8217; and I’m like, &#8216;Of course.&#8217; He apologised to me a bunch of times. We’re good.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In an apology at a The 1975 show in Auckland earlier this year, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/matty-healy-is-no-longer-a-director-at-dirty-hit-limited/">Healy</a> admitted <em>“I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you. Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a dick. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry.”</em></p>
<p>You can watch Healy&#8217;s apology to Ice Spice as told by <a href="https://www.etonline.com/">Entertainment Tonight</a> below.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1975 will be playing the world’s first carbon removed event during their three nights at the 02 Arena in London next February 2024.</p>
<p>The 02 Arena are teaming up with carbon removal company CUR8 to explore and test options to create a ‘carbon-removed’ event, which include direct air capture, a process in which air is blown through machines that remove CO2 and store it underground.</p>
<p>The band will be taking part in a pilot scheme during their London shows next February, in which the organisers will use various methods to extract carbon from the show and remove said carbon from the atmosphere.</p>
<p><em>“We’re incredibly proud to be hosting the world’s first carbon-removed events here at The O2.,”</em> <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/fans-of-the-1975-are-planting-trees-to-honour-the-bands-pledge-to-climate-change-2574533">says</a> the AEG Europe Director of Sustainability, Sam Booth</p>
<p><em>“The perfect large-scale carbon-free event does not currently exist, but while the industry continues to innovate and improve to reduce emissions to their lowest possible level, carbon removals will remain an important piece of the puzzle.”</em></p>
<p>The organisers <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/fans-of-the-1975-are-planting-trees-to-honour-the-bands-pledge-to-climate-change-2574533">have said</a>: “Using this data, the cost of removing the carbon associated with the events can be folded into the existing business model.”</p>
<p>Mark Stevenson, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer at CUR8 <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/fans-of-the-1975-are-planting-trees-to-honour-the-bands-pledge-to-climate-change-2574533">also said</a>: <em>“What’s great about these shows is that we can demonstrate that it is now possible to fold the cost of removing the residual CO2 into the existing business model, such that fans won’t notice any difference in the gig experience. It’s a complete win-win-win – for artists and their fans who care about the climate crisis.”</em></p>
<p>It is said that these pilot events will help create a practice model for venues across the globe in how to approach the carbon issue and to pull together the live entertainment in the same direction.</p>
<p>Carbon at live events is typically born from stage lights and props as well as actions from the crowd such as travel.</p>
<p>The band has also previously teamed up with climate change group organisation, Music Declares Emergency in 2021 via launching t-shirts and hoodies with sustainable materials that helped raise money for charity.</p>
<p>The band is also touring the UK and Europe in 2024, playing shows in Manchester, Birmingham, Paris and many more. Tickets can be found <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/the-1975-tickets/artist/1765575">here</a></p>
