Matty Healy has seemingly broke his silence on his reported split from Taylor Swift, after the pair began dating in a whirlwind romance earlier this year. The 1975 frontman made a full-blown speech during a recent concert at Vienna's Wiener Stadthalle, admitted to spending time with his 'boys' while coping with the breakup.
Speaking to fans during the concert, the 34-year-old son of Tim Healy and Denise Welch addressed adoring signs from fans in the crowd. Caught on camera by an audience member, he said: "My friend had some very, very beautiful signs that said, ‘You are loved’. That was very, very kind of you."
He continued: "I'm sure that's alluding to..." before pausing, adding: "As you're aware, I'm not very online at the moment, and I'm sure people have just been calling me a c*** relentlessly."

The Mirror reports that he went on: "I’ve not been online, but what I have been with is my boys," before referring to the signs once more, concluding: "And honestly, as much as I appreciate that. It’s so beautiful, and I thank you. But I don’t need it, because I’ve got them."
For the first time across their ongoing tour, the band ended their set with a tragic love song about unrequited love - with Matty telling fans: "I loved her but she didn't feel the same way. I don't even think she knew I loved her, as she and I became close friends, we had traditions.
"We'd somehow always coincidentally be out at exactly 1:02AM, so that was our thing."
Taylor and Matty were said to be dating after the stateside popstar's recent split with beau of six years Joe Alwyn, with reports claiming that Matty was moving in to 'help Taylor with her upcoming album' while on tour. However, it was this week revealed by sources that the whirlwind romance had come to an abrupt end.
A source said: "Taylor and Matty broke up. They are both extremely busy and realised they're not really compatible with each other. Taylor's friends want what's best for her and aren't shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship," the source told Entertainment Tonight.
