The British pop rock band The 1975 had its set at a Malaysian music festival cut short on Friday night after frontman Matty Healy kissed a male bandmate onstage and criticised the country's anti-LGBT laws.

Homosexuality is a crime in Muslim-majority Malaysia. Rights groups have warned of growing intolerance against the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

He said the band had considered pulling out of the show but did not want to disappoint their fans in Malaysia. Healy later cut short the set, telling the crowd: "All right, we gotta go. We just got banned from Kuala Lumpur, I'll see you later." In a statement, Good Vibes organisers said the band's set was stopped due to "non-compliance with local performance guidelines".
