Matty Healy appears to perform Nazi salute on stage

The frontman of The 1975 band appeared to do a Nazi salute while marching on the spot on stage at a performance during the group’s current tour.

Matty Healy reportedly made the gesture during the song “Love it if we made it”, as he sang the lyrics: “Thank you, Kanye, very cool.”

The reference was to Kanye West, also known as Ye, who has recently been embroiled in a high-profile antisemitism scandal.

Some fans described the gesture as having been in poor taste, while others believed it was meant satirically as a criticism of Mr West.
