The 1975's Matty Healy shared a message of support to Lewis Capaldi while also addressing post break-up feelings during their Finsbury Park headline show.
The indie-rock band offered up an ambitious production to the 45,000 strong crowd at Finsbury Park on Sunday, July 2, with a multi-levelled set designed like a 1990s style home, which was seen as a game-changer for arena shows when used as part of their recent ‘At Their Very Best’ tour.
The crowd saw Healy act as a member of the crew performing a sound check before changing into a grey suit on stage and each member of the band was introduced with their own title card flashing on the screen, reminiscent of a 1990s family sitcom.

Matty Healy, 34, paid tribute to singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi, who announced last week that he was taking a break from touring “for the foreseeable future” after he struggled with voice issues and his Tourette’s during his Glastonbury performance last weekend. Healy told the crowd: “I want to send my sincerest thoughts to Lewis Capaldi who is a good friend of mine.
“Who on the day when he had to cancel his tour, checked in on me. And it’s also a reflection on how hard being a solo artist is as I would not be doing this show if I didn’t have these amazing men and women behind me.”
Healy, who was most recently linked with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift before parting ways a few weeks later, also discussed his feelings regarding breakups. He said: “You know when you break up with people, you feel a sense of sexual ownership, that is not a good feeling, especially not nowadays, you can’t own people sexually but that’s how it feels, sexual ownership over your past partner.
“And if you’re a man, you’re made to feel like some kind of misogynist and if you’re a girl, you’re like some crazy b**** who just won’t chill. It’s not my fault I love them.”
