Matty Healy Says He Would ‘Take Back’ Past Controversial Remarks During The 1975 Concert: ‘Some Stuff I Got Wrong’

During the 1975’s London concert, frontman Matty Healy briefly touched on the fallout from his past controversies.“I was always, like, trying stuff and some stuff I got right and some stuff I got wrong,” Healy, 34, said during the Sunday, July 2, gig at Finsbury Park, per Metro.co.uk. “But, do you know what?

There’s a lot of things I’ve said, jokes that I’ve made, you know what, there’s probably a couple of f—king songs I’d take back if I had the chance.”He added: “What I mean is that I really am only doing this because I want to make you guys laugh and feel good.

That’s what my favorite art does and that’s what I’m trying to do. I get a bit excited. And, you know what, I’m f—king proud of myself.”The England native — who called himself a “not a nonchalant person” during his speech, per PopCrave — noted that he is “not somebody who takes things for granted” and had gotten “excited” to share his feelings.While Healy did not address the specific instances that he regretted, he has frequently made headlines for sharing his controversial thoughts through the years.Back in February, Healy came under fire after mocking Ice Spice — who has since recorded a remixed version of “Karma” with Taylor Swift, whom Healy briefly dated in May — during an appearance on the “The Adam Friedland Show.”The “Robbers” singer issued a public apology to Ice Spice, 23, later that month. “I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you,” he wrote via his Instagram Story. “Ice Spice, I’m sorry.

It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d—k. I love you, Ice Spice.
