It seems that it has become fashionable to attack artists at concerts. Although a few weeks ago we saw how a man threw a mobile phone at the American singer Bebe Rexha because “he thought it would be funny” and another slapped the artist Ava Max in the middle of a show, this time it was the British singer Harry Styles who has been the victim of an unfortunate episode with a fan.
The events occurred last Saturday in the city of Vienna, Austria. The former member of the musical group One Direction was giving one of the concerts scheduled in Europe with his Love on Tour when, out of the blue, he received the impact of a strange device in the face.
In the barely ten-second video you can see how, when the object hits his face, the artist puts his hands to his eye area and is shocked. Not knowing quite what to say or what to do, Styles leaned down for a few seconds to examine his face and stood up to continue on his way to the stage.
Although he decided to continue with the show and let the incident pass without giving it more visibility or public importance, this action could have caused him greater harm or he could even have lost his sight.
This is not the first time that the Englishman has suffered an attack on stage while singing in one of his shows. A few weeks ago, at a concert in Cardiff, another fan threw a flower arrangement at him, which landed on the artist’s face, who, despite having an incredible and positive attitude, suffered the blow with pain and little concealment.
On that occasion, Louis Tomlinson’s friend also continued with his concert and decided to ignore the attack, something that shows his great professionalism and the great commitment he has to his followers, even above his own safety and health.
Although it is a horrible event, Styles has experienced the “good” side of misfortune, since social networks have been filled with comments of support and affection for the artist and thousands of people have condemned the action of the fan who assaulted.
The singer who began to be known after participating in X Factor and who has managed to be one of the most listened to artists in the world with songs like Watermelon Sugar, As It Was or Night Changes will visit our country this week and give two concerts.
Styles will perform on Wednesday July 10 in Barcelona and on Friday the 12th in the Spanish capital. His Spanish fans are very happy to be able to see him live in two of our cities and some have been queuing for days to be able to live the experience as close as possible to the performer.
