Harry Styles fans were concerned for the singer’s health after viral video footage appeared to show him choking on water and collapsing onstage in London.
The “Aperture” singer, 32, performed at Wembley Stadium in London on Friday, June 26, as part of his Together, Together Tour, but appeared to struggle towards the end of the set as he delighted fans with his signature water-spouting routine.
Viral footage captured a moment where Styles seemingly choked on some water while wrapping up show-closer “As It Was.” The former One Direction band member then fell to the ground and heaved multiple times while appearing to try to catch his breath.
Styles was on the ground for nearly 20 seconds — during which time he loosened his tie and patted his chest — before he pulled himself back up and ran around the stage to finish the performance. The TikTok footage showed the back of Styles’ blue shirt drenched with sweat as he finished the concert.
Us Weekly has reached out to Styles’ representative for comment on the incident.
Fans showed concern as the video quickly went viral, with many sending well-wishes for Styles in comments on the viral video.
“How come no one came and checked on him???” one viewer asked, while another pointed out, “Water went down the wrong pipe. He’s a performer and knew to lie down and cough for theatrics instead of awkwardly standing and coughing. He’s a pro. Love him. Glad he’s ok.”
“Oh that man was DYING in the heat,” a third theorized.

Despite the incident on Friday, Styles was scheduled to perform at Wembley Stadium once again on Saturday, June 27.
The outdoor show at Wembley Stadium came in the middle of a week where the Met Office, Britain’s national meteorological service, offered repeated extreme heat warnings. On Thursday, June 26, Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page issued a “Red Warning” for London and much of the southeastern U.K., among other areas.
“This exceptional spell of hot and humid weather will maintain its grip on the UK for a little longer,” Page warned on Thursday. “Although the current red warning for areas in more central and western parts of England and Wales will expire later today, the heatwave will still be bringing high temperatures to these areas, albeit moving away from the peak heat of Wednesday and Thursday.”
Page went on, “We are expecting that some daytime maximum temperatures could exceed 36°C (96.8°F), perhaps rising to 37°C (98.6°F) in some locations.”
Harry Styles kicked off his highly anticipated Together, Together tour in Amsterdam on Saturday, May 16. The three-time Grammy winner, 32, opened his concert at the Johan Cruijff Arena with “Are You Listening Yet?” before running through hits including “Watermelon Sugar,” “Treat People With Kindness” and “Sign of the Times.” He closed out his 20-song […]
Styles is in the middle of his Together, Together concert tour, which will see him perform limited residencies across four continents. He debuted the tour at Wembley Stadium on June 12 and will continue at the historic venue through Saturday, July 4. (Shania Twain has served as the opening act for the London shows.)
The musician will next hit São Paulo and Mexico City for shows in July and August before kicking off a 30-date run at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on August 26. (The MSG shows, which feature support from Jamie xx, will be Styles’ only U.S. dates on the tour.)
In May, Us Weekly learned that Styles opted for a series of residencies in select cities to avoid the stress and “burnout” that comes with a world tour.
“Harry approached this project and tour very mindfully,” a source exclusively told Us. “By doing multi-night residencies, there is less travel and less burnout.”
Zoë Kravitz made sure to support her rumored fiancé, Harry Styles, while he kicked off his long-awaited Together, Together tour. Kravitz, 37, was spotted in the audience at the Saturday, May 16, concert in Amsterdam alongside Styles’ mom, per fan footage shared via X. In the video, Kravitz and Styles’ mom belted out some of […]
An insider added, “For Harry, the past couple of years have been about slowing down, stepping back and finding peace. He really treasured that time and the sense of privacy and normalcy. He is coming into this tour knowing what works for him. He is incredibly emotionally mature and is constantly working on himself.”
Away from the stage, it was reported that Styles and longtime partner Zoë Kravitz recently got engaged after eight months of dating. The couple fueled engagement speculation when Kravitz, 37, was photographed in April with a large diamond ring on her hand during a coffee date with Styles.
