Before the sold-out arenas, the controversy and the chart-topping albums, they were just four teenagers blasting punk covers in a garage in Cheshire.In Part 1 of our multi-part series we uncover the raw and chaotic origin story of The 1975 and their controversial frontman Matty Healy. As we discuss what it was like for Matty growing up around rock royalty and his iconic British TV parents, we delve into his childhood obsession with Michael Jackson, his musical influences, Matty's cheeky scams he ran during his teen years which saw him expelled, his struggles with his sexuality, how he came to meet fellow band mates Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, and drumming prodigy George Daniel, how their very first gig panned out and the multiple band names they sifted through over the years ranging from Me and You Versus Them, BIGSLEEP, Talkhouse, Drive Like I Do and many more before they arrived at The 1975 and how four schoolmates from Macclesfield forged an unbreakable brotherly bond only for their existence as a band was threatened by the looming pressure of going off to college before they had really even begun.

Did Phil Collins really watch on as a drowning man was refused help by a bystander and did Phil confront this bystander when inviting him to the front row of his show? For over 40 years, one of rock music’s darkest urban legends has surrounded the hit "In The Air Tonight.". However the misunderstood lyrics actually tell the true story of Phil's marriage breakdown and the bitterness, betrayal and anger he felt when he discovered his wife had been unfaithful. In this episode of the Story Behind we dive deep into the collapse of Phil’s first marriage caused by his commitment to Genesis which helped inspire the song In The Air Tonight. As we also delve into Phil's alleged "secret" dig at his ex wife with his infamous top of the pops appearance, the lengths he went too, to salvage his marriage and the technical studio accident that created the most iconic drum fill in history as In the air tonight goes from Phil's makeshift bedroom studio in Surrey to the top of the global charts.

In this episode of Lyrics Of Their Life – The Story Behind, we delve into the powerful and deeply moving story behind The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II) by Rod Stewart. Released in 1976, the song was inspired by the real-life murder of a friend of Rod's and the band "Faces" — a young gay man who was killed by a New Jersey gang of youths during a time when homosexuality was still criminalised in many parts of the world and violence against the gay community was tragically common. In this episode, we unpack the rise of Rod Stewart from North London rocker to global superstar, the true story behind Georgie, The social climate of the 1970s and why the song was considered risky, The backlash, bans and controversy surrounding its release and the lasting legacy of a track that helped break down barriers in popular music and even within society. **Listener discretion is advised.
