The REAL reason why Matty Healy wasn't at bandmate and best friends George Daniel's wedding as 1975 star ties the knot with Charli XCX
Over the years, Matty Healy and George Daniel's friendship has been at the heart of the band's success.
Known for their close bond both on and off stage, the duo have often described each other as 'brothers' rather than just bandmates.
They have spent over two decades writing, recording, and touring together, cementing a friendship that fans have adored since the band's early days.
So, it came as a shock when Matty was notably absent from best pal George's wedding on Saturday.
The drummer, 35, tied the knot with songstress Charli XCX - whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison - in a low-key ceremony at Hackney Town Hall.
Twenty of the couple's nearest and dearest were in attendance, but Matty was no where to be seen.
It turns out Matty was in LA for the screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel stars in.
On Friday evening, the singer was spotted arriving at the venue dressed in a leather jacket over a white top with a red lightning bolt, paired with blue jeans.
Matty, who has been linked to Gabbriette since September 2023, appeared in good spirits as he left his vehicle and headed into the event.
MailOnline has contacted George and Matty's representatives for comment.
Despite his absence Matty reportedly attended his pal's stag do earlier this week which took place in Ibiza.
According to The Sun, the drummer and frontman Matty, 36, flew out to the party island on Tuesday for a short but wild getaway.
It comes after reports Charli and George were planning a lavish wedding in Sicily later this year, after officially tying the knot in London.
They met as teenagers in high school and went on to form one of the biggest bands of their generation, The 1975, alongside Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald (pictured in 2014)
A source told the publication: 'George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do.
'He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals – including his bandmates – and party girl Charli was all for it.'
Charli and George, who have been together since 2022, announced their engagement in November 2023.
The Sun claimed the couple have spared no expense on the upcoming Sicilian celebration and have reportedly spent close to six figures.
The source revealed: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there.
'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared.; it's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.'
It is believed that the duo wanted a 'massive party' with a bar that is open all night long.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaarr earlier this year on plans for her wedding, Charli said: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party.
'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'
Announcing their engagement last November with a post on Instagram as the star wrote: 'charli xcx and george f***ing for life!'
She shared a carousel of images including a romantic snap of George dipping her while the pair shared a kiss.
In another picture, Charli showed off her diamond engagement ring in a box between two cups of tea.
The pair first sparked dating rumours in March 2022 when they were spotted holding hands on a stroll through New York City.

Beloved ITV detective show slapped with 'trigger warning' for crime scenes in 'woke' move
ITV 's Inspector Morse has been slapped with a 'trigger warning' in a move that has been branded ' woke '. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online. The streaming giant also advises there are 'satanic images' in one episode of the drama. It then has a parental lock on the episode, titled Day of the Devil. Inspector Morse first aired from 1987 to 2000, with a total of eight series. Other episodes also feature a warning over crime and violence. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online Speaking about the update, Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke slammed: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. In the past, it has said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.' Just a few weeks ago, Netflix bosses axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price.
