Harry Styles was hit again by an object during his concert on the stage in Vienna. In a Twitter video captured from the scene by a fan, the pop star can be seen walking down the stage when a small but apparently heavy object hits his left eye. Apparently startled with pain, Styles puts his hand to his eye and walks on with his head bowed.
A similar thing happened to the Grammy winner on the stage in Cardiff just last month: a bouquet of flowers hit him in the face. The incident in Austria now seemed to have been much more painful. The incidents have been increasing lately: In Los Angeles last November, a handful of Skittles (similar to Smarties) were thrown in his face by the audience, after which he had to shield his eyes with his hand.
Harry Styles is currently at the end of his “Love On” tour, with the last of the remaining four concerts taking place in Italy on July 22nd.
The subject of objects thrown onto the stage is currently occupying other musicians as well. Rapper Drake was hit in the hand by a smartphone during his concert this week. Pop singer Bebe Rexha was struck in the face by a cell phone last month – the wound even required stitches. And country-pop singer Kelsea Ballerini was recently hit in the face by a bracelet thrown at her on stage.
Pop star Adele also commented on the subject last week. At one of her concerts in Las Vegas, she said, “Have you noticed that people are forgetting the damn show etiquette at the moment? People are just throwing crap on stage, have you seen that?” And warned her fans: “Don’t be afraid. Dare to throw something at me and I’ll fucking kill you.”
