Harry Styles close to tears in Italy as he concludes two-year Love on Tour shows

Harry Styles was left overcome with emotion as he closed out his Love On Tour shows in Reggio Emilia, Italy on Saturday after two years on the road.

The Watermelon Sugar singer, 29, was visibly moved towards the end of his set and fell to his knees as he addressed his fans for the last time this tour.

The Grammy Award winner rounded off his final Love on Tour performance by expressing his gratitude to his fans and teared up as he attempted to get his heartfelt words out.

In videos shared online, Styles, who was clad in a gold waistcoat and trousers, could be heard saying to the crowd: “Thank you so much, thank you for… thank you for…”, before he held his face in his hands and his voice faltered.

Making light of being overcome with emotion, the former One Direction star exclaimed: “He’s gone”, before adding: “I was doing so well!

“Thank you for the way you’ve supported me over the last 13 years. I couldn’t have done it without you and for loving me in the way that you have. Thank you so much.

“My friends that are here tonight, thank you so much for having my back always, I love you all so much. There are so many things that I get to feel incredibly lucky for in my life and the thing I feel the luckiest for is my friends.

“I get to do this job with my friends, those who make music with me, those of you who don’t the way that you support me allows me to do this, and I am so full right now. I’ve never been happier in my life.”

The Brit winner ended his sentiments by asking his fans to show his appreciation for his support act Wet Leg as well as his own band and thanked them for going on the road with him.

One notable special guest in attendance at his final tour date was pal James Corden, who was captured having the time of his life.

The 44-year-old was seen jumping and dancing as he joined feather-boa-clad fans in the pit for tunes such as Medicine as well as Best Song Ever alongside Styles managers Jeff Azoff and Tommy Bruce.

On Monday, Styles took to Instagram to reflect on his tour, gushing about how incredible the experience had been.

Writing on his Instagram Story, he penned: “It's been the greatest experience of my entire life. Thank you to my band, and all the crew who made the last few years so special. It's been an absolute pleasure.

“To everyone who came out to see us play, thank you. I feel so incredibly full and happy, it's all because of you. You have given me memories that will last a lifetime, more than I could have ever dreamed of.

“Thank you for your time, your energy, and your love. It's been an honour to play for you. I hope you had as much fun as I did,” he added.

“Look after each other, I'll see you again when the time is right. Treat People With Kindness. I love you more than you'll ever know – H.”
