Earlier this year, there was intense media scrutiny surrounding his rumoured relationship with Taylor Swift.
The 'Chocolate' singer was later spotted at several of Swift's gig following her reported split with long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
Though they never confirmed the romance, fans became increasingly concerned about his past controversial behaviour.
Back in April, he came under fire for his appearance on The Adam Friedland Show, with Healy heard laughing at jokes about rapper Ice Spice.
During the episode, Healy also said that he watches hardcore pornography channel Ghetto Gaggers.

At the time, Ice Spice been collaborating with Swift on a new version of 'Karma' - leaving many fans shocked by the podcast.
While Healy later apologised for the incident, the podcast was pulled from Apple and Spotify.
He also appeared to 'subtly' address the hate he was receiving online during the 1975's performance at Radio One’s Big Weekend, saying: "Is it all a bit? Is it sincere? Will he ever address it? All of these questions and more will be ignored in the next hour. Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 1975.”
Later on, it would be his bizarre on-stage antics that would grab headlines with Healy eating a raw steak during a concert at Finsbury Park.

He then told the crowd: “I was always trying stuff and some stuff I got right and some stuff I got wrong. There’s a lot of things that I’ve said, jokes that I’ve made and there’s probably a couple of songs I’d take back if I had the choice.
“I’m only doing this because I want to make you guys laugh and feel good because that’s what my favourite art does and that’s all I’m trying to do and I get a bit excited, and you know what I’m proud of myself.”
