Matty Healy: The 1975, Drug Addiction and Glastonbury | Apple Music 

The language he uses is so profound and informed and I love how much I learn when he speaks

matty:"I'll be at glastonbury" corona virus:"Hold my beer"

Unreal album. They're just going to get bigger as more people decide to actually listen and give the bands vision a chance rather than looking away and calling them pretentious.

thank you. we needed to hear this. it’s so interesting hearing about his life rather than gossips and rumors.

i love him so much and i'm so happy he's sober again and healthy and making good music.

matty has a galaxy brain

This album is so well written and so well produced. This band is the embodiment of perfection.

"i kinda used to dream about being sedated". it's really crazy hearing someone put in words things that you go trough and never found a way to articulate. i letted out a huge sigh, if anyone would do this it would be matty for sure. it gives me some calm in a way, i feel in company. im so sorry tough for everything he's gonne trough even when at some level i knew, but glad he's finally going out of it.

Any other audio engineers loving the sound of that mic? So warm yet detailed.

Sobriety looks good on you Matty ♥️

We are only as sick as our secrets. He HAS to be incredibly honest right now. He is NOT romanticizing an opiate addiction. Respect where he's at. Respect the process.

"June 2020... we'll be at Glastonbury" :(((((((

"If you want a band to last forever, share." - Matty Healy 2k18

Sobriety has been so good to you sir ❤️❤️ Wishing you and the band continued health & light!

I just really pray that we don’t lose Matty 😞♥️💔♥️

Anything that calms you down, relaxes you is basically extremely addicting. That’s why so many people get addicted to Xanax. I have horrible panic attacks and once a friend gave me Xanax to help me calm down, it worked so well. Immediately. From that point on, anytime I was stressed, depressed etc. I was craving that feeling again. Which Xanax would give me. Yes there are other ways to “cope” and calm down but nothing will give you the same effect as a drug. That’s just how it is & that’s why they are so addictive. Benzodiazepines & Opioids are so dangerous.

Can't wait to see 'this time sober' matty taking on robbers at glastonbury

I saw his mum talking about him on a show and she said she was very proud of his success in music but even more proud that he is a good person. She loves it when people say they have met him and say how lovely he is. He is.

‘Notes will be before reading and Leeds’ bruh here we are and it’s not releasing until April 2020

"June 20, 2020, where would you be?" "I'll be at Glastonbury." Covid19: **chuckles**

Never seen any of this interviewer before he was amazing really respected Matty’s time to speak and what he had to say whilst getting down to the tougher questions in a down to earth way

Does he narrate any books on Audible, he’s voice is so soothing

“If you want a band to last share” if only more people had this outlook in the industry

Matty really explains everything so beautifully.

Can’t believe I went to reading this year and saw the 1975 headlining, I was so so close to the stage 😭

His voice is so calming wow I love this man 😭

matt healy inspired me to go into re-hab for opiate addiction and i just turned 64. And yes, I am a huge 1975 fan!

I love this interview, I think Matty post rehab was the best Matty! (late 2018 and 2019)

Matty’s such a sweet, honest guy and brave to be so honest. Can not WAIT to see them @the O2 & Birmingham nex yr

I’ve listened to the album on repeat ALL day and I can’t stop crying it’s so beautiful

i frickin love listening to matty bc the way he thinks is so beautiful n unique n honestly restores my faith in humanity

Got glasto tickets and if The 1975 headline, or even play,... ... My wig will no longer be in our solar system. RIP

I literally just found this interview sort-of randomly, and I have to say that it's so refreshing to hear these subjects being approached like this. Healy deserves a lot of kudos for demanding from himself a level of self-awareness and reflection that has often been all too rare in the past from others in his position (which may have been a consequence of music industry PR insisting on a specific 'drugs [and opiates in particular] are bad, rehab showed me the light' narrative). Here he seems to be accepting something to the effect of "this one was on me, it stemmed from before I was in the band and I both enjoyed it and thought I could manage it right up until it became obvious I couldn't". Both he and the interviewer also make a point of the fact that he was fortunate enough not only to be able to take 7 weeks in Barbados to begin getting clean (which is beyond the reach of the vast majority of people who follow that path), but also that the band rallied behind him and took the financial hit to do so. Rather than make a big deal of the latter point, his sense of gratitude comes across as implicit - and in the moment maybe that makes it more powerful.

What a great interviewer 👏the whole conversation flowed and was great to listen to

Just listened to "Be My Mistake" - Sooo beautiful.

I love how honest he was in this interview. I'm pleased he is doing well. Go Matty :)

I love matty healy

i am grateful that Matty wanted help from his addiction and that the band cared enough. The band has never been better and bigger than now. His interviews have gotten more insightful and engaging - less cliched and distant like when they were just getting their footings down.

I love the way matty talks, he sounds so intellectual. Well... He already is an intellectual.

I'm so immensely proud of the band. They're finally getting recognized and gaining popularity. I've listened to them since the beginning and they have come so far and its just awesome to see. I'm going to see them in April and the tea is I'll be crying the whole damn time 😭♡♡♡

I dont think him being or talking about being addicted to drugs is a risk to or for his fans... He dont talk like it was so great or trying to get people to do them. He talks about how hard that time in his life was, how it made him a lier and how he did not like himself anymore being an addict. He supports people getting clean, he lets us know he can understand. He talkes about people should not allow thierselves to become addicted and theres a difference in trying a drug, and being addicted. How being addicted is not a fun life, its a very hard hard time in someones life. I think hes an artist, and he tries to understand life from his exsperience, and the exsperience of everyone else. I think him being able to truely understand all these differents walks of life, is what makes him such a great artist. Also his fans know he can truely relate to all of us in many different ways, he understands. Ive never heard him say anything about it being a great or fun time in his life. I hear him talk about his exsperience, what it done to him and how it made him become dull, or a lier. Its not like hes promoting any of it. Its just something he went through, which does relate to millions of people. I think he has a voice in an epidemic, and he uses that voice for many great reason. I like it that he knows what that does and he tells his truth about it all. Hes relatable, he knows. This is just one chapter of his book of life. One thing in a stream of many many things he will go through in life. Its not a bad thing... Its just some thing, you know. He will use his voice and his exsperiences. I feel like its made him a better artist, and it is just another, one more way, he relates to alot of other people. I dont feel like its a bad risk at all. Yes he was an addict.... And look at all the great things hes been able to do in his life. Being an addict does not define him. Its all the good things about someone that defines who they are. People should not get all caught up in one part, of someones many parts of life. Hes way more than just an addict. I like him even more for having gone through that, and getting the help he needed to get out of it. To me hes just someone who understands that part of someone elses life.... More relatable.

Matt help us modernity has failed us.

Matty’s* words are so beautiful and the context he puts them in! He is such a smart individual , he is also beautiful , this new album is the highlight of my year! I’m more happy about this album than my 13th birthday 😹😹😹 love matty and all of the 1975 they never fail to impress 💕💕💕 ( edit : thank you guys for 109 likes , I love how many people agree with me , Ik it’s not much to other people but it is to me x )

I'm a year younger than the band's name. I really like the new wave feel of their music. Matty is so artistic and articulate. I hope he finds peace among all the chaos in the world he's living in.

I could listen to Matty talk forever, he could make the most boring subject interesting!

I'm in love with Matty's voice. It's like asmr to me

I love how honest he is about it all, such a lovely soul

he is absolutely mesmerizing. i am so incredibly in love with who he is and who he is becoming. I have, quite literally, listened to the whole record on repeat since the day it came out. honest music is beautiful and it itself is hard to just turn off. i can't even begin to explain how thrilled i am to hear what they're going to come out with next, and his dad being included is just like a cherry on top of it all. i am in awe as well as in love with this band. that is all.

Matt Wilkinson, thank you for being such an awesome interviewer. For easing Matty through some of the toughest question without ruining the vibe with rumors, jokes and judgement. Why aren't you bigger? Or why haven't I seen you until now, you beautiful angel.

I see what matty means at round 5:15. Undo is my favourite song of all time, but he's right it's completely flawed. I dunno if that's more of self analysis or what, but that point raised was very profound.

The fact that Matty's dad is going to be singing on the next album makes my heart melt. I'm so excited to hear it.

Damn good interview. Thank you. I love this band more and more each day. I knew them from “Girls” and “Chocolate” but didn’t start REALLY listening until I Like It When You Sleep... at my boyfriend’s recommendation. Absolutely adore them now. Great frontman he is.

god he looks so beautiful

I'm honored that he came to my country (Barbados) to get cleaned up. HE TOUCHED OUR SOIL! that's really cool. :D

thank you!!!!! such a good way of interviewing

this man is so intelligent

my heart is full by seeing him thrive and seeing him healthy and seemingly a lot happier, i hope sobriety continues to treat him well 💗

Sick interview. Wish it was longer

Amazing interview this was great. And thanks for editing it this way!

this is the best interview i’ve ever seen, thank you 💗💗

This was such a good interview, I wish it was even longer

Can't wait to see them Friday

Love that interview! Good job!

this was an excellent interview :) really enjoyed how conversational and relaxed, but bluntly honest it was

I love interviews like this that just seem like genuine and raw conversation. It allows genuine and raw responses that show personality and honesty from whoever is being interviewed

The questions that were asked are so good!!! Great interview.

loving this commentary, with the casual honesty and chill, stripped back vibe- really great.

Such a great interview. I love when it just feels like a conversation and the artist said what they wanted to say without being pressured to spill some big secret.

This interview really hits me so hard because I remember the day their self titled album came out, I’ve grown up with them in every sense possible and to see how much he’s grown and become healthier and really focus on himself as a whole is astounding I remember the old fan videos where he was in such a state where I didn’t know if he would make it this far as an artist and I’m just so profoundly proud of him

One of my favorite interviews ever.

That interview was brilliant. So raw. So in the moment.

What a powerful soul you are Matty! I can’t die before I see the 1975 live I’ve been loving this band since ages and the messages they transmit

I need more interviews like this!

I’ve met him and the band so many times, they are so lovely👌🏼 I hope they do more small uk shows I’m going to miss those. Am happy he’s sober again ❤️ Man I just love the band so much!!! As a fan whom has been here since dlid. Thankyou Matty and the band for everything and I love him for talking freely about drugs because artists never do esp in the public eye

this is like, a really nice interview

I haven’t seen an interview this good in a while. Such a good release and it was so interesting to hear Matty’s mind. I love The 1975, thank you for talking to him.

i love how real they both are and omg matty’s laugh, makes my life worth living🤞🏼 i’ll always have a spot in my heart for The 1975🤞🏼 and love the fact that it’s in black and white😍❤️subscribed😌💕

Lovely interview.

can I just say, I take my hat of to matt with all these interviews with drugs etc, for him to have to talk about these things all the time in interviews must be draining and frustrating, these are his own personal issues and he has to express them to be world, open for criticism. imagine if the world started asking you about your deepest darkest secrets!? very courage, humble and lovely man it seams

Such a FANTASTIC interviewer Wilkinson

i love this man. what a great interview

HANDS DOWN TO ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE ND HONEST INTERVIEW 💙💙💙

this is such a good interview

This interview is so good and so special, it's refreshing to see a current artist talking about his addiction so openingly

i like how honest and open he is... and I can tell that i will like this band for a very long time

I love the band. I have loved them for years. I’ll be honest, after one of the festivals I felt alienated by Matt because I thought he was on drugs. But this! Talking openly and honestly about it and my god he’s so apt! This is why he’s so successful. I’m so glad he’s on the right track again.

awesome interview!

what an amazing interview

this is my fav interview which also includes that raw one he done years ago

Been looking for an explanation into the new album all day and this was as close as I could get and I love it however the main thing I took away was that there might be a new album before August ??! Well this’ll be the longest 8 months of my life

hands down, one of the best interviews with matty ever👏

The album blew me away!!!

Honestly my favourite interview with matty

This interview was shocking! All of 2017 I only listened to their music, if anything I saw one or two interviews about them but I never knew about the drug addiction 😶😶 I love how he's so honest and open to sharing about his life ❤️

Pure passion and intelligence I adore him💙

Can't stop thinking about matty, ever

So glad Matty got clean! Keep it up man!

Great interview!!! 💛💛💛

He's so genuine and honest and I LOVE that in an artist. This album is gonna be a good one!!!

Interviewer is stellar 💫 Bravo Matt Wilkinson, bravo 👏🏼
