PETALING JAYA: Communications and digital minister Fahmi Fadzil has hit out at English band The 1975 following the antics of its frontman during a concert at the Good Vibes Festival in Sepang last night.

Singer Matty Healy allegedly spoke out against Malaysia’s laws against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) community and kissed his male bandmate in the middle of the show.

Healy also appeared to be drunk during the show, which was stopped halfway by the organisers. In videos that have been widely shared on social media, Healy told the crowd the show was over as “we have been banned from Kuala Lumpur”.

Fahmi expressed disappointment over Healy’s actions in a tweet, saying he was “very uncouth”.

“I have called up the organiser to explain the matter and will be in touch with the authorities to get a full report on the matter.”
