Harry Styles fan falls from top balcony at Glasgow concert

PA Wire

A Harry Styles fan fell from the top deck of Glasgow’s Ibrox Stadium during the singer’s first gig of the European leg of his Love On Tour concert, Scottish police have confirmed.

The pop superstar, 28, was performing at the Rangers football club stadium – in the first concert the venue has had in nearly two decades – when a man fell from the third floor into the audience.

In a statement, Police Scotland said: “Officers were made aware of a man falling from a club deck at a premises on Edmiston Drive, Glasgow at around 10.15pm on Saturday June 11 2022.

“There were no suspicious circumstances and the man was seen to by medical staff.”

The incident comes in the week Styles enjoyed double chart success, returning to the top of the UK album and singles charts with third studio album Harry’s House.

The sold-out gig in Scotland is only the second time Styles has returned to the UK stage, following his one-night only gig in London on May 24.

He was due to take his Love On Tour show for his second album global in 2020 but the events were postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The rescheduled tour began in September 2021 in Las Vegas before heading across the US, with the European tour leg kicking off in Glasgow on Saturday.

Bon Jovi was the last artist to perform at Glasgow’s Ibrox Stadium in June 2007, it has been reported.

Representatives for Harry Styles have been contacted for comment.
