"Yeah, getting quite emotional. [clears throat] That was a tough time in my life. Need to man up. It’s like - no no no it’s good, cause I’ve got my dad."

— Matty Healy at Finsbury Park (July 02, 2023) after singing Paris, before bringing his dad Tim Healy onstage to sing All I Need to Hear

"We couldn’t do the same show because when we wrote the last show we didn’t understand kind of - well I suppose, Tiktok and the way that virality works. Because you can’t go into a play and like film it because then the next day, you know, everyone knows what the play is. So the show became this ever-evolving thing and it started with, you know, the kind of tones of the crisis of masculinity that I touched upon when I stayed in my house for two years by - well a year by myself and masturbated intellectually and literally a lot. Went down many a rabbit hole, and the show is about that. And then I was really excited. Like look at this [gestures at crowd], this is the culmination, like look at this. I’m not a nonchalant person, I’m not somebody who takes things for granted, so I was excited. And The 1975 isn’t a dry band, there’s a lot of irony in it - like Love Me, for example, it doesn’t make sense unless I’m taking the piss out of myself. So I was always like, trying stuff. And some stuff I got right and some stuff I got wrong. But you know what, there’s a lot of things I’ve said, jokes that I’ve made that I would take back. And you know what, there’s probably of couple of songs that I’d take back if I had the choice. What I mean is that I really - I’m only doing this because I want to make you guys laugh and feel good, cause that’s what I think, that’s what my favorite art does. And that’s all I’m trying to do and I get a bit excited. And you know what, I’m fucking proud of myself. And I want to send my sincerest thoughts to Lewis Capaldi, who is a good friend of mine. Who, on the day when he had to cancel his tour, checked in on ME. Think about that. He checked in on ME the day that he canceled his tour. And it’s also a reflection on how hard being a solo artist is cause I would not be doing this shit if I didn’t have this amazing band behind me. All of them. This crew started building this stage at 2 o’clock this morning, they finished at 10 am. We played in Sweden yesterday. It takes a village. I don’t know what “it takes a village” means, like how you use it. [laughs]"

"This is it, this is my life ladies and gentlemen - welcome to my life. I think what you’ve seen over the past year is this… this striving for intimacy. No don’t feel sorry for me, everything is fine! Everyone gets to go home but this is my home. My home is kind of here, so it’s weird and there’s a lot of things that I don’t get but look at what I do get [gestures to crowd]. And it’s worth every fucking penny. Some people may have people, but I have you guys. And I have those guys [gestures to the band]."

Alex Turner: "I have some photos from that shoot that Tina did. A guy showed me these lost photos that were found after the photographer died. That clicked immediately; it looked like an album cover, even long before we wrote this album."

Singer and artist Tina Turner passed away today at the age of 83. She is the cover of The Last Shadow Puppets' second album. The album cover consists of a sepia-toned photograph of the singer dancing, originally taken in 1969 in NY. It was photographed by Jack Robinson.

Simply the best. Forever 💔
