US EditionThe 1975’s Lawyer Says ‘Bizarre’ Lawsuit Over Malaysia Concert Kiss Must Be Tossed
- The 1975's lawyer stated that the band should not be held liable for the cancellation of the Kuala Lumpur festival after Matty Healy kissed a male bandmate on stage, which violated Malaysia's anti-LGBT laws.
- Future Sound Asia is suing The 1975 for £1.9 million in damages, claiming the band breached their performance contract due to Healy's actions, which led to the festival being shut down after its first night.
- The band's attorney characterized the lawsuit as 'illegitimate', asserting that the claims should be directed at the band's touring company instead of its members.
- Matty Healy defended the kiss as part of their performance, stating it was not a mere provocation, and expressed confusion over the backlash from some activists regarding their 'pro-LGBT stage show'.
