The 1975’s Lawyer Says ‘Bizarre’ Lawsuit Over Malaysia Concert Kiss Must Be Tossed
The 1975's lawyer says the band can't be sued for a Malaysia festival cancellation that occurred after Matt Healy kissed a bandmate on stage.
As a result of the kiss, the festival, organized by production and entertainment company Future Sound Asia, was forced to close after the first night of what was supposed to be a three-night run. According to reports, lawyers for Future Sound Asia have argued in a lawsuit that the band breached their performance contract for the event and are liable for £1.9 million in losses. But in a hearing on Wednesday (Feb. 19) in the country’s High Court, according to The Independent, The 1975’s attorney, Edmund Cullen, called the claim an “illegitimate, artificial and incoherent” extortion attempt “to pin liability on individuals” instead of the band’s touring company The 1975 Productions, which holds the contract with the festival.
