Matty Healy 'got stuff wrong' and would 'take back' racist remarks after Taylor Swift split

Matty Healy has admitted that he "got stuff wrong" after receiving backlash over his controversial comments.

The 34-year-old told a London audience that he "would take back" his remarks on her weight and ethnicity, including calling her a "chubby Chinese lady."

Speaking to the crowd between songs, Matty said: "I was always trying stuff and some stuff I got right and some stuff I got wrong, but you know what, there's a lot of things that I've said, jokes that I've made, that I would take back. You know what, there's probably a couple of f***ing songs that I'd take back if I had the choice."
