Matty Healy Portrait Nominated for Photography Award

A portrait of The 1975 lead singer Matty Healy has received a nomination for the 2026 British Photography Awards. Photographer Neil Ferry captured the portrait of Healy during a rehearsal session for the Sunday For Sammy charity show. The winners of the British Photography Awards will be announced on Sunday, November 1. Ferry began working in photography at the age of 48 and subsequently completed an undergraduate degree at Newcastle College.

The Sunday For Sammy event raises funds for young creative talent in North East England. During the charity concert held this year, Healy performed a cover of a song by The La's and brought Lewis Capaldi on stage. Sting also appeared on stage during the concert to perform Message In A Bottle by The Police.

The 1975 have announced to fans that they currently have two new albums in preparation. One of these new albums will be titled DOGS. The band's fifth and latest studio album, Being Funny In A Foreign Language, was released in 2022.
