The 1975 cover Justin Bieber's "Sorry" in the BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge

The 1975 cover Justin Bieber's "Sorry" in the BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge

The 1975 covered Justin Bieber’s pop banger “Sorry” during their Live Lounge on Radio 1 this morning (February 11). 

The band were guests on Clara Amfo show and performed their new single “The Sound” plus their jazz-funk take on “Sorry”, one of Bieber’s 2016 global hit from his latest album “Purpose”.
The reason why The 1975 chose to cover “Sorry” is that it’s something of an apology to Justin Bieber himself after Matt Healy annoyed him at a party. Or maybe not. Healy told Nick Grimshaw he thought Bieber should just “get over it”.
“I went out one night to a gig, Ed Sheeran’s gig, and stole his rider, and took it out to the front with me,” Healy explains. “I got absolutely hammered, then went out, and Justin Bieber was there. I was very excited, because it was Justin Bieber, and what I did was… I got a text the next morning saying.. Ed told me that I’d continually just poked him in the chest and told him that he was Justin Bieber. He kept trying to get me kicked out, but then Abel from The Weeknd was finding me really entertaining and kept bringing me back in. The jester of the evening.”

The British band release second album “I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” later this month (February 26). It is the follow up to their 2013 debut “The 1975”.
