Matty Healy has performed with a The 1975 tribute band while celebrating his stag do.
The 37-year-old musician is set to marry American model Gabbriette, 28, this month.
Ahead of walking down the aisle, Healy celebrated his impending nuptials with a stag do that involved “the world’s first tribute band to The 1975”, according to the band The 9075.
Videos circulating on social media show the frontman on stage with the tribute band after they appeared to be hired for the party.
In one clip, Healy is seen singing and dancing on stage, performing a rendition of The Sound, which was released on the band’s second album I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It in 2016.
After Healy yells out “where is he, come back”, the lead singer of the tribute band appears from the crowd and jumps back on stage before taking the microphone back and taking over the vocals.
Healy then dances around the stage as the crowd cheers and sings along.
Another clip shows Healy crowd surfing while his band member George Daniel can be seen singing along to the band as they play the song Sex.

They are also followed by Healy’s fiance on Instagram.
Ahead of their nuptials Gabbriette, real name Gabriella Leigh Bechtel, posted photos and videos from her Las Vegas hen-do, which included some showing her being handcuffed and a man dressed as a police officer spanking her on the bottom with a baton before picking her up and carrying her on to a private jet

Gabbriette is also known for being the lead vocalist and songwriter of the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, which was formed by Charli XCX, whose husband Daniel is The 1975’s drummer.
