GQ’s interview on top things Matty can’t live without
Sunglasses, a black sling bag, a notebook, and a classic disposable camera are some of the things The 1975 front man Matty Healy can’t live without. And we’ve discovered (1:50 mark) that his phone wallpaper is a photo of his girlfriend Gabby Brooks! How cute is that?

Want to know if Matty, George, Ross, and Adam read your comments on their videos? This BBC Radio 1 interview is the answer!
All his Genius videos
Matty has a wide vocabulary that, partnered with his British accent, can just about blow your mind. All his Genius interviews on the songs off their new album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships are amazing. Aside from us getting to know the meaning behind all the clever lyricism, we get to hear him explain his perspective on things using his let’s-read-a-dictionary-in-one-sitting inspiring vocabulary.
Check out his interview for Sincerity is Scary, I Couldn’t Be More In Love, and Love It If We Made It.
Beats 1 with Matt Wilkinson
In this radio interview, Matty gets serious and talks about his affair with heroine and how it has heavily affected and inspired his latest album. He spent 7 weeks in Barbados at a rehab center last year and he shares how he’s grateful that his bandmates helped and encouraged him, even going so far as pitching in for the bill. This might be the only interview where we hear from Matty himself how he went through and got over his drug addiction.

“The only thing I’ve got is the truth. I’ve only ever done the truth, that’s the only thing that has ever provided me with the result of meaning anything.” – Healy, 2018
This is the reason why people can relate to their songs, it’s because Matty, George, Ross, and Adam make it a point to tell the truth in their lyrics, their present emotions, their present struggles, and the truth always resonates.
