Promoting his upcoming album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally on BBC Radio One on Friday (23 January), the singer left fans puzzled when he appeared to speak with a hybrid American twang.

“His accent has really changed,” one fan said of the Cheshire-born singer, whilst another added: “The American accent jumping out at a few words was a thing.”

Styles has announced that he will be going on a seven-city residency world tour, kicking off in May. It comes as he dropped his highly anticipated single, “Aperture”, off his new album.
