Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975, has left fans scratching their heads with a presidential campaign video. The 33 year old singer released the video endorsing his bid for The White House in 2024, giving current president Joe Biden and Donald Trump a run for their money.
The video was very professional, with Matty smartly dressed in a suit and greeting 'voters'. However, it was soon revealed to be a spoof, and a clever way of promoting The 1975's upcoming American tour. It was a reference to Matty's recent scandals, and featured clips of key workers, same-sex couples, and people from all races and backgrounds.
Matty's voiceover further addressed his recent scandals, as he said: 'Here in the heart of America, we know that redemption is more than just a word. It's a promise we make to ourselves and each other. Our nation's story is one of second chances, of forging a path forward, even in the face of mistakes.'
He continued: 'It's about rebuilding what's broken, healing what's wounded, and coming together to create something stronger than before. As a nation, we must embrace redemption in our policies and our actions.'
Matty concluded the video by revealing the truth, that it was promotion for his tour. He said: 'Join us in this journey towards a better tomorrow. We can write a new chapter in America's history, together, here on the Still At Their Very Best tour.'
Naturally, fans in the comments went wild over the big-budget promo vid, with one joking: 'In his political campaign era.' However, not everyone was so on board, with one person commenting: 'I would want you immediately impeached.'
Matty has had enough scandals to make him President material and recently faced backlash for kissing his bandmate on stage in Malaysia, where homosexuality is illegal, and making degrading comments about rapper Ice Spice. He has also been called out for his association with Taylor Swift and by record label pal Rina Sawayama for being 'racist'.
The 1975 will take their Still At Their Very Best shows to the US and fans can buy tickets from the link in Matty's bio. So, erm, Matty Healy for The White House, anyone?
