Malaysia called off a music festival in Kuala Lumpur after male members of a British indie band kissed on stage.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced the cancellation in a tweet on Saturday, after Matty Healy and Ross MacDonald — the lead singer and bassist of the band The 1975 — kissed in a performance on Friday.
