Harry Styles Hit by Flying Object During Vienna Show

First Bebe Rexha, then Lil Nas X, then Kelsea Ballerini, and now, Harry Styles.

Styles was struck in the face by an unknown object during his concert in Vienna, Austria, on Saturday (July 8). He is the latest victim of a recent dangerous trend in which artists are being struck by random items at concerts.

As seen in a fan-captured video, the 29-year-old British pop star struts down the stage at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadion when a mysterious object pelts him near the eye. The “As It Was” singer winces in pain as he bends over, covers his eye and continues walking off stage. The former One Direction singer has not commented about the incident on social media or to the press.

Styles is something of a veteran when it comes to being hit by objects during shows. Last year, he had to take a brief pause in Chicago after getting struck in the groin by something thrown by a fan. He’s also had Skittles and chicken nuggets hurled at him while performing.

Besides the launching of objects, Ava Max was also slapped by a fan who rushed the stage, and another concertgoer threw their mother’s ashes onto the stage during P!nk’s performance at BST Hyde Park in London on June 25. Adele has even addressed the concerning trend during one of her recent Las Vegas residency shows. “Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting f---ing show etiquette at the moment, people are throwing s--- on stage? Have you seen that?” she said.

In other Harry Styles news, the Grammy-winning artist is close to wrapping his epic Love on Tour outing. His last show will happen on July 22, in Italy. You can find tickets and more information here.
