Twitter accounts for both the band and the individual musicians were then wiped, leaving fans (and us) confused as to where they had gone and fearing the worse!
While some fans were already sobbing to Medicine on repeat in a darkened room, others remained hopeful, and speculated that the day may be marking a reinvention for the band.
But, THANK GOODNESS, the blackout proved to a be a way to welcome a new era of The 1975. Their accounts were back after 24 hours along with a new look; the band reversed their first album cover swapping the black and white for light pink.
Matty took to Twitter to reinforce the band's new love of all things pink and the fans were happy once again, eager to hear where this new colourful direction would take the band.
