Olly Alexander helps man propose to his boyfriend at Years & Years show
By Will Stroude
Olly Alexander is certainly no stranger to speaking up for LGBT causes, or proudly making a statement about his sexuality on stage, but the Years & Years frontman and former Attitude cover star may have outdone himself over the weekend after helping surprise a fan at a show in Seattle with a live onstage proposal.
After singling out a man from the crowd up in between songs, the 25-year-old singer tells him: “Sorry Tyler, you must be confused. The reason I brought you up here is because basically someone here tonight told me they’ve got a really mad crush on you.
“Do you have any idea who it might be?”
With that, Tyler’s boyfriend Matthew appears from the back of the stage and tells him: “I love you so much. I want to give you the world.”
And the rest, as they say, is history…
congratulations to Matthew and Tyler who got engaged at our Seattle show ✨ !!!! xxx pic.twitter.com/tuAo5V2Ze7
