The 1975, which was scheduled to co-headline the five-date Laneway festival at Brisbane Showground on February 1, canceled the show due to their frontman Matty Healy’s illness.
The band said Healy “was hospitalised following a bout of serious sickness and unfortunately after a medical examination at 5.30pm today the doctor has advised that Matty is too weak to play. We hope to be back on track for tomorrow’s show in Sydney.”
Healy, who shared an update, wrote that jokes about people saying he had coronavirus were not funny. He thanked fans for the well wishes and confirmed the band would play the festival on Sunday night.
“I am alive and well sh*t just got way too vibey I’m still taking it easy but I’ll see you tonight,” he wrote.
The band did perform Sunday night, with Healy walking onto the stage wearing a hospital gown and an IV drip in place.
