The 1975 frontman Matty Healy is the most woke musician out there, and he confirmed it at the BRITS

'Male misogynist acts are examined for nuance and defended as traits of 'difficult' artists, women and those who call them out are treated as hysterics who don't understand art'
UPDATED FEB 21, 2019

When The 1975 won the Best Group at the Brits Awards in 2017, frontman Matty Healy had a certain message for the distinguished and tipsy gathering. "People in pop music and in the broader public consciousness are told to stay in their lane... when it comes to social issues... stay in your lane. But if you have a platform, please don’t do that," Healy said, "speaking for the band for a change."

"Best speech of the night is already Matty Healy's. He's woke and he's telling every self obsessed celeb in that room to be woke. YES. #BRITs," a suitably impressed @EmilyBashforth wrote on Twitter then.
