Harry Styles accidentally choked on water while trying to do his famous ‘whale’ spitting motion during a performance at Wembley Stadium on Friday night.
The stunt combined with Europe’s scorching heatwave caused the 32-year-old ‘Watermelon Sugar’ hitmaker to collapse onto the floor above the stage, where he tried to catch his breath.
A fan video that went viral on social media showed the singer snatching a water bottle from the stage floor, taking a sip, immediately spitting it out, and immediately falling onto his back.
While Stiles lay on the floor for several seconds, he was recorded loosening his tie and attempting to punch his chest several times.
After appearing to collect herself, the pop star jumped up and ran off stage, waving to the crowd as she exited.
This scene caused a stir online, with fans expressing their concerns.
“I have to admit I was scared for a few seconds during the livestream 😱,” one netizen shared a post of the incident in an Instagram comment.
“Oh my god! He was really, really struggling,” one fan wrote via X.
“Why didn’t anyone on the team notice he was having trouble with ties? This is so awful,” another wrote.
A representative for Styles did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
We hope the ‘As It Was’ singer is feeling better as he is scheduled to play another show at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
According to the singer’s official website, performances at the famous venue are scheduled to continue on June 29th, July 1st, 3rd, and 4th. That means fiancé Zoe Kravitz won’t be able to attend ex-Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey’s wedding next weekend.
