UK:Harry Styles kicks off Wembley run with Hockney tribute

Harry Styles paid tribute to the late British artist David Hockney as he kicked off his record-breaking residency at London's Wembley Stadium.

The One Direction star will play 12 nights at the venue in a bid to beat Coldplay's record of 10 performances there last year.

The string of shows is poised to smash the record for the most performances by any artist in a single year at the national stadium.

Styles will also beat pop superstar Taylor Swift's record for the most concerts performed at Wembley by a solo artist during a single concert run.

She performed eight shows at the venue as part of the Eras Tour in 2024.

In a tribute to Hockney, whose death at 88 was announced just hours before his show, Styles flashed up a quote from the artist on screens around the venue before performing his hit Aperture.
