Love Fame Tragedy is the solo project of British singer/songwriter Matthew Murphy, who earned success as frontman of The Wombats before launching a parallel solo career in 2018. He was born in Liverpool, England, on July 23, 1984, and co-founded The Wombats with Tord Øverland Knudsen and Dan Haggis in 2003. The band's major-label debut, A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, went platinum in the UK, and its four consecutive follow-up albums all reached the Top 5. In 2018, Murphy announced the upcoming release of his first solo release, I Don't Want to Play the Victim, But I'm Really Good at It, which ultimately arrived in 2019. The EP featured "My Cheating Heart," Murphy's debut single as a solo act, which reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart. After returning in early 2020 with another EP, Five Songs to Briefly Fill the Void, Murphy released his first full-length album, Wherever I Go, I Want to Leave. A second album, Life Is a Killer, arrived four years later in 2024. "Don't You Want To Sleep With Someone Normal?," the album's first single, became Murphy's first hit in America, where the song debuted at number 39 on the Top 40 Radio Alternative Songs chart in April 2024.
