A group of Malaysian musicians and festival vendors have joined forces for a class action lawsuit against the 1975 after frontman Matty Healy’s protest against the government‘s anti-LGBTQ+ laws led to the entire event’s cancellation.
The group were performing at the Good Vibes festival in Kuala Lumpur last Friday when Healy explained that he was not aware of the strict laws before accepting the gig.
“I am sorry if that offends you and you’re religious and it’s part of your fucking government, but your government are a bunch of fucking retards and I don’t care anymore,” he continued. “If you push, I am going to push back. I am not in the fucking mood, I’m not in the fucking mood.” The lawsuit names Healy and his bandmates – McDonald, George Daniel and Adam Hann – and aims to secure compensation for the losses that arose due to the cancellation.
Lawyer Mathew Thomas Philip, representing the claimants, said that five musicians and vendors are currently participating in the class action.
