The 1975 & the Million-Dollar Fine for ‘Man-to-Man’ Kiss 

The 1975’s ‘Still… At Their Very Best Tour’ encountered some viral moments, such as the incident at the Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur. During the performance, Healy openly criticized Malaysia’s anti-LGBTQ laws on stage and shared a –long– kiss with the band’s bassist.

This action resulted in the band stopping their performance and the cancellation of all their remaining concerts in the region. As a consequence of this incident, The 1975 members have been banned from returning to the Asian country, and they were hit with a substantial fine of $2.7 million dollars.
