The 1975 frontman Matty Healy has been dumped by his long-term girlfriend over his wild party lifestyle
THERE was one fan missing from the crowds when The 1975 headlined Reading and Leeds Festivals over the weekend.
I can reveal frontman Matty Healy has been dumped by his long-time model girlfriend Gabriella Brooks after she grew tired of his constant partying.
She recently moved out of the home they shared in North London and missed their landmark festival shows. The couple went public at the Brit Awards in 2017 but are believed to have been dating since 2015.
They were together throughout his heroin addiction and rehab stint two years ago.
Since deciding to end their relationship Gabby has been leaning on her pal Anais Gallagher, the daughter of Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher, for support.
A source said: “Matty is great when he’s on form but he isn’t the easiest person to be with and leads a very unconventional life.
“There has been a lot of strain on their relationship, not helped by him being on tour a lot this year.
“He parties a lot at home when he’s there and Gabby had just had enough. She doesn’t want to lead her life like that.”
A rep for the singer declined to comment.
The group released new song People last week in which he sings: “I’m just gonna get girls, food, gear. I don’t like going outside, so bring me everything here.”
He opened up about his battles with drugs, including heroin, last year and said that although Gabby was “incredibly wise and incredibly beautiful” he had “still risked it” despite knowing how much he had to lose.
The rockers will spend September performing throughout Asia, Australia and New Zealand before embarking on tour across America in November and December.
Then the group, who have gone to No1 with all three of their albums, will release their fourth collection, Notes On A Conditional Form, in February.
There won’t be time for much moping around with that schedule.

TAYLOR Swift will play more intimate venues on her next tour following her 53-date stadium shows last year. She said: “My goal for whatever live setting we decide to do is to try to make it feel smaller, like a living room.”
Ed's Bond bid
DUA Lipa and George Ezra have both been rumoured to be recording the theme for upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die, but there’s one superstar still holding out hope.
Ed Sheeran’s manager has confirmed he is so desperate to land the job that he has already started working on a theme in case the call comes. And this is despite announcing he is taking time out of the industry.
Stuart Camp, who has overseen Ed’s rise to fame, revealed they had a meeting with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli in 2017 but no decision was made.
He said: “We met Barbara when we played Dublin and they were interested. Danny Boyle was attached to the film after that. He made Yesterday (which Ed starred in), so there was a close connection there.”
Despite a change of directors to Cary Joji Fukunaga, Ed is still hopeful he will get to record the song, following in the footsteps of Sam Smith and Adele.
Stuart added: “Ed asks me about it every day. And I say, ‘The thing they do last is the music’. Those stories that said he’s Daniel Craig’s favourite act and it’s all happening aren’t true. It’s certainly something he’d want to do though. It’s a box that’s still to be ticked.”
The film is due in cinemas on April 3 next year, so bosses will have to move fast to get a star locked down. But now he’s on a break, Ed should have plenty of time to make a cracker.

Skimpy Smith
IF everyone had the confidence of Sam Smith, the country would have had far fewer items of clothing on during the Bank Holiday weekend.
The singer has admitted in the past to struggling with his appearance but he had no qualms posting this snap in Speedos and an open shirt on holiday in Italy.
In an industry where toned and tanned Love Island torsos are the norm, Sam is flying the flag for the idea that everyone should be proud of their bodies.

Madonna tour rejig
MADONNA has delayed the start of her intimate Madame X tour, admitting she had “underestimated” the time it would take to pull off the shows.
She had been due to begin her jaunt at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in New York on September 12, but has rescheduled that show and one on September 14 to October.
A third show on September 15 has been cancelled – and the first show is now September 17. Madonna said in a statement: “Madame X is a perfectionist and wants to give you the most unique, magical and musical experience.
"She underestimated the amount of time it would take to bring this kind of intimate theatrical experience to you and wants it to be perfect!”
It will prove a nightmare for fans who had spent a fortune to get to New York for the launch of the tour. Madonna starts the European leg in January in Lisbon, Portugal, before 15 dates at the London Palladium.At least any issues should be ironed out by then.
