I don’t know why advertisers still align.”In the years since he stepped up as co-host of the Kyle and Jacki O show in 2004, Kyle has found himself no stranger to many a controversy, most recently referring to Monkeypox as “the big gay disease floating around”. “It’s as baffling to me as it is to everyone else.

The 1975‘s Matty Healy has looked back on the on-stage comments he made at Leeds Festival about replacing Rage Against The Machine as Reading & Leeds 2022 headliners, clarifying that he and his bandmates “fucking love Rage so much”.The 1975 were called up to replace RATM as headliners just two weeks before the twin festivals took place in August, with the latter pulling out due to frontman Zack de la Rocha’s ongoing leg injury.Speaking on stage at Leeds Festival on August 26, Healy told the crowd: “I’m sorry we’re not Rage Against The Machine, but who’s Rage Against The Machine?“I mean, give it up for the greatest rock band of the previous generation, ladies and gentlemen please… Being literally in Rage Against The Machine and having a gammy leg is quite funny, though.”Healy, who subsequently praised RATM during The 1975’s Reading headline set two nights later, later clarified his comments following a social media backlash, adding that he intended to say: “I’m sorry we’re not Rage Against The Machine, but who can be Rage Against The Machine?”Speaking to NME in The 1975’s latest Big Read about his RATM comments, Healy said: “I watched it back and I was like, ‘That delivery was so bad!’“There are no records that me and George [Daniel, drummer] know more than Rage. Even ‘Renegades’.

comments he made regarding cancel culture, in which he eloquently stated it was more about ‘accountability. ’Also in the highly-praised interview with Times Radio, the Eurovision broadcaster was quizzed on author JK Rowling’s views on the transgender community, but Graham simply suggested speaking to actual trans people who have experience with such matters.

J.K. Rowling.During an appearance at the Cheltenham Literature Festival on Tuesday (October 11), the presenter discussed his views on cancel culture with interviewer Mariella Frostrup.Norton said: “You read a lot of articles in papers by people complaining about cancel culture and you think, ‘In what world are you cancelled?’ I’m reading your article in a newspaper, or you’re doing interviews about how terrible it is to be cancelled? I think the word is the wrong word. I think the word should be ‘accountability’.”When asked about how that applies to Rowling, who is described as facing “anger, rage and attempts at censorship” for her views on transgender people, Norton replied: “What I feel weird about this is when I’m asked about it, then I become part of this discussion.One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen.

The 1975 lead an all-new Top 5 in the race for this week’s Official Albums Chart Number 1 with Being Funny In A Foreign Language.

Matty Healy finds being sober easier when he's in a relationship. The 1975 singer - who split from FKA Twigs last summer - battled an addiction to heroin in his twenties, and though he is "doing really good" with his recovery, he admitted he has to work harder at it when he's alone. He explained: “Well I’m doing really good right now, sobriety-wise.

The 1975 frontman Matty Healy has spoken to NME about his group being “post-Arctic Monkeys” – and how they could “still be the most important band” of the decade ahead.Speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read cover story to mark the release of their fifth album, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, Healy discussed the legacy and future of The 1975, as well as how he feels about being labelled as a ‘band’.Speaking in 2018, Healy hailed Arctic Monkeys as “the band of the 2000s” with The 1975 the defining band of the 2010s. Asked today about how he felt about his group’s standing for the decade ahead, Healy replied: “I think we could still be the most important band of the ‘20s, – I’ve got a prediction that we will be, but we’re starting to get into a semantic argument”.Healy then admitted that “Arctic Monkeys are still relevant and making amazing records and are still a band” who could “always be around if they wanted to” (as well as revealing that he’s “obsessed with bands like Fontaines D.C.”), but argued that culture is no longer necessarily aligned with the idea of “white guys with guitars changing the world” and that The 1975 shouldn’t perhaps even be considered as a traditional band.“With us, you need to take us out of the ‘bands’ world and put us next to Lana [Del Rey], Taylor [Swift], Frank Ocean and Kendrick [Lamar],” he said.

Graham Norton’s comments about cancel culture got people talking on social media this week.

sit-down interview with Radio Times posted Wednesday, the late night host and television fixture railed on “Monty Python” icon John Cleese for not getting with the times and deriding so-called “cancel culture.” “John Cleese has been very public recently about complaining about what you can’t say, and I just think it must be very hard to be a man of a certain age who’s been able to say whatever he liked for years, and now, suddenly, there’s some accountability,” Norton told Mariella Frostrup at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.” It’s free speech but not consequence-free.”Cleese has been very vocal, particularly in the last year, about his qualms with being held accountable for his words and opinions, telling Fox News this summer that wokeness has had a “disastrous” impact on comedy and that “if you’re worried about offending people and constantly thinking about that, you’re not going to be very creative.”Cleese now has a series headed to the U.K.’s conservative, anti-cancel culture GB News station in 2023, in which he’s said he’ll be collaborating with satirist Andrew Doyle and encouraging “proper argument.”“You read a lot of articles in papers by people complaining about ‘cancel culture,’ and you think: In what world are you cancelled?” Norton said of the hot-button phenomenon. “I’m reading your article in a newspaper, or you’re doing interviews about how terrible it is to be cancelled.”The fix is to change the way we talk about “cancel culture” in the first place, he added.

has not been quiet about his political leanings and even moved from San Francisco to Arizona as a result, he says. Asked about former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s statements Tuesday about leaving the Democratic party, he said he wasn’t surprised.“As an actor, you’re always coming from a place of trying to get work. But at a certain point, you know, you have to worry about, I mean, I’m in my 50s now, late 50s — it’s going to catch you too, Brian,” Schneider said, joking to “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade, sitting to the actor’s right.

Matty Healy has responded to recent speculation surrounding a potential collaboration between The 1975 and Taylor Swift.Back in 2019, Healy said he wanted to produce an “intimate acoustic album” for Swift. Later, the frontman explained that he didn’t take the opportunity to ask the pop star to team-up on a project when the pair crossed paths at the NME Awards 2020.Healy last month appeared as a featured guest on a “leaked” tracklist for Swift’s 10th record ‘Midnights’ (out October 21), which he subsequently confirmed was fake.

“cancel culture” on colleges Monday, with one expert analogizing the so-called phenomenon to “McCarthyism,” while the other suggested it was a “conservative” myth.The war of words transpired on Monday’s show during a segment on cancel culture called “You Can’t Say That,” Fox News reported.“People are looking over their shoulders and watching their words out of fear of someone pointing a finger publicly and saying ‘You can’t say that!'” declared the 72-year-old television host, whose real name is Philip McGraw. The Oklahoman entertainer further compared cancel culture to a “mob mentality” that results in people getting “banished from society forever.” McGraw then brought on two experts to debate the topic: the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression Greg Lukianoff and Shaun Harper, Executive director of the USC Race and Equity Center.“I have never seen anything like it in my career than I’ve seen over the last two years,” exclaimed Lukianoff, who had Zoomed into the show.
