\t\t<\/p>\n The 1975<\/strong><\/a> frontman Matty Healy<\/strong><\/a> says the band will be speaking less about politics going forward. <\/p>\n The 36-year-old musician gave a speech during the band\u2019s set at Glastonbury Festival about what he sees as the band\u2019s \u201clegacy\u201d and their recent silence on current events. <\/p>\n According to Matty<\/strong>, staying silent about politics recently has been a \u201cconscious decision\u201d and one that the band plans to continue for the foreseeable future. He used the speech he gave during The 1975<\/strong>\u2018s set to explain his decision. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPeople who are watching this may \u2014 I don\u2019t know\u2026 They may be disappointed in the lack of politics in this show and our forthcoming shows and probably our future shows. I want you to know that it\u2019s a conscious decision,\u201d Matty<\/strong> said<\/a> during a break between songs in their set. \u201cWe honestly don\u2019t want our legacy to be one of politics. We want it to be that of love and friendship. I\u2019m not trying to be too earnest, but you can go out into the world and there\u2019s loads of politics everywhere. We don\u2019t need more politics. We need more love and friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n Matty<\/strong> went on to encourage anyone feeling inspired by his band should aspire to have close friends rather than wanting to achieve great levels of fame. <\/p>\n Following the speech, the band played \u201cI Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)\u201d and \u201cLove It if We Made It,\u201d one of The 1975<\/strong>\u2018s songs that makes several political references throughout its lyrics. <\/p>\n If you missed it, Matty<\/strong> responded to the rumors that he\u2019s going to release songs<\/a> about Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
