Harry Styles gets hit where it hurts by over-enthusiastic fan on tour

Harry Styles was left wincing in pain in concert after an overexcited fan hit him where it hurts recently.

The Watermelon Sugar singer, 28, was in the middle of performing a show in Chicago during his US tour when he was struck in the groin by a flying object onstage.

Footage of Styles on tour these last few months has shown him being thrown various objects onstage, from toys to underwear, in avid appreciation from fans.

This show of love by one concertgoer didn’t exactly go as planned, though, as seen in a clip that has been circulating social media.

In a video filmed by show attendee Gabriela Rose, Styles is seen doubling over after an object, looking like a bottle, is lobbed at him as he talks to the crowd.

“Oh!” Styles is heard saying as he bends over grabbing his crotch.

The Adore You singer takes a moment to recover, before he says: “Well, that’s unfortunate.”

Styles then shakes his legs, as he adds: “Ok, shake it off!” and gets on with the show.

The hitmaker has had a few awkward incidents onstage, where he has been harmed in his private area.

Styles’ most recent strike came as he performed at his rescheduled tour date in Chicago on October 10, after the cancellation of his first show in the city due to illness in his crew.

The singer has had an incredibly successful tour run so far, having performed in several major venues around the US, including Madison Square Garden, where he played an impressive 15 dates.

Styles will next bring his tour to Inglewood, California, where he’ll play 15 more concert shows into November.

The former One Direction star has somehow managed to find the time to make movies alongside his busy singing career, having recently starred in Don’t Worry Darling and upcoming film The Policeman, which had its London premiere on Saturday.

Styles was not able to attend the event due to concert commitments, a source said.

They told Mail Online: “He’s gutted – but he doesn’t want to let down his fans in Chicago.

“Starring in My Policeman means the world to Harry and attending the London film premiere would have been very special.

“Music will always be his priority though and he’s committed to fulfilling every one of his Love On Tour dates.”
