The 1975 Fuels Breakup Rumors After Deleting Social Media Accounts; Is It Just a Stunt?

Credit: Dave MaIs 2015 the year The 1975 calls it quits? After posting a cryptic comic strip featuring quotes like "the hardest part of any relationship is to say 'goodbye,'" both the band and frontman Matthew Healy have deleted their social media accounts, as first reported by the Australian website TheMusic.com.au.

While the comic strip post is no longer available on The 1975's own social media, it lives on at their manager Jamie Oborne's Twitter.

"As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life," the post reads. "We can't simply go on forever -- always staying the same, never evolving."

"So we must leave, with a parting 'we love you,'" the post continues. "We are already gone."

While the post and subsequent social media blackout have naturally fueled breakup rumors, the whole thing could just be a publicity stunt for The 1975's potential sophomore album. The Guardian reports the band had been tweeting about a big event coming June 1.

The 1975 released their self-titled debut in 2013. The album peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200 and reached number one in their native U.K.
