Healy alluded to his breakup while taking the stage at a 1975 show this past Monday (June 5). The hinting at the split came hours after TMZ reported that the ‘Shake It Off’ singer was “single” again, after her brief alleged romance with Healy.
After noticing a fan’s sign that read: “You are loved,” Healy thanked the fan and shared to the crowd that he was “not really online” at the moment.
“That was very, very kind of you and I’m sure that it’s alluding to…,” he said, referring to the alleged split. “As you’re aware, I’m not really online at the moment, and I’m sure people have just been calling me a c**t relentlessly. And I’ve not been online.”

He did take the time to point out that though he’s not online, he has been spending time with his friends and band mates. “But what I have been with is with my boys,” he shared.
He ended the brief concert chat by thanking his fans for the heartfelt messages and added: “Honestly as much as I appreciate that, it’s so beautiful, and I thank you, but I don’t need it ‘cause I’ve got them,” referring to the rest of The 1975 (Drummer George Daniel, Guitarist Adam Hann, and Bassist Ross MacDonald).
