Last week, The 1975‘s Matty Healy revealed that he’s self-isolating in the studio which the band made their last two albums, and is working on new music.
Healy was speaking to Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 while premiering The 1975’s new single ‘If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)’.
“Like everybody else, I’m in the same situation and taking it day by day,” Healy said of his current mindset. “I feel really, really lucky to keep being able to do what I do, when so many people can’t. I’m just trying to not take that for granted.
Revealing that he’s isolating in the studio where The 1975 made their last two albums, Healy added: “As soon as [lockdown] started to happen, I know that it was a safe, boxed-off area that I could go. I’ve been here ever since.”
