The 1975 Band Members Not Liable for Malaysian Festival Losses, Judge Rules
The 1975 members cannot be held personally liable for losses of a Malaysian music festival shut down after Matty Healy kissed a male bandmate on stage
Members of the British band The 1975 cannot be held personally liable for losses of a Malaysian music festival that was shut down by authorities after lead singer Matty Healy kissed a male bandmate on stage, a London judge ruled Monday. FSA’s attorney Andrew Burns said authorities had initially refused to let the band perform because of reports about Healy’s drug addiction and subsequent recovery.
