The Untold Truth Of Taylor Swift's Rumored Boyfriend Matty Healy

Publish date: 2024-05-06

Matty Healy has been open about his experiences with substance misuse. As he detailed in a conversation with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, his dalliance with heroin ultimately forced his bandmates in The 1975 to stage an intervention. Initially, the frontman admitted he stubbornly refused to listen, telling them, in essence, "No, you need to respect my drug addiction!" However, the following morning he experienced a moment of clarity as the implications of his ridiculous response began to sink in. "Oh my God, not only was that the wrong thing to say, that was so cringe," he admitted. "Because I know that they will get over that, but that's going to be an anecdote that they'll take the piss out of me for years for — that's the first thing I need to think about."

Healy subsequently checked himself into rehab, which provided him with a big wake-up call when he spoke with other people in recovery from addiction, many of whom had lost everything to drugs. "I'd not lost anything," he observed. "... Hadn't lost my possessions. Hadn't lost my money. I was just walking a very, very thin line. I think that I was lucky enough in my condition, in the way that I am as a person, to recognize that what needed to be done needed to be done." Following his seven weeks of treatment, in 2018, Healy told Billboard that his relationship with heroin was through.
