Healy – who recently wrapped up the massive North American leg of The 1975’s ‘Still…At Their Very Best’ tour – has been taking a break and spending time with his family in Manchester for the holidays.
Much to fans’ excitement, the frontman has returned to his official Instagram page and re-commenced his famous “good morning guys” IG stories in which he shares tweets, headlines, memes and more that make him laugh.
Yesterday (December 27), Healy shared a meme of Sue Sylvester from Glee (portrayed by Jane Lynch) which read: “I am going to create an album that is so good” alongside the comment “I’m feelin it”.
“Eu vou criar um álbum que é tão bom…”

Then, he posted a screen recording of what appeared to be unreleased demos and ideas for potential tracks that are stored in his phone. Some of the demos were named “ringbox1”, “this love 140bpm”, “3011” and more.
Fans have been speculating that the demo titled “Victim 5.18” is a reference to the date May 18, 2023, which was the day that a Taylor Swift fan wrote an open letter to the pop singer about their concerns over Healy and Swift’s speculated romance.
In the mix of demos, a PDF script was spotted with the name “untitled MH plot ‘Cancelled’”.
It is unclear whether the demos would be for a potential new album for The 1975 or if they would be for a solo record. He briefly spoke about working on solo material while appearing as a guest on The Ion Pack podcast last year.
