He was charged with holding a bottle of alcohol while on stage in addition to making a speech insulting Malaysian laws related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT).
Meanwhile, the media reported that the organizers in a statement expressed regret that The 1975 group's performance had to be cut short for not complying with local performance guidelines.
