Harry Styles was hit in the eye by an object thrown on stage while performing in Vienna on Saturday, marking the latest incident in an ever-growing list of similar situations in recent weeks.
Video film material posted to social media by concertgoers shows the “As It Was” singer walking on stage as an object hits him squarely in the eye during a “Love on Tour” concert.
He is seen wincing in pain when the object hits, and bending over as he brings his hands to his head to collect himself before walking on.
Styles has yet to update his social media followers, but CNN has reached out to a representative for the singer to comment on the incident.
The unfortunate incident isn’t the first time Styles has been targeted by a flying object while performing on stage. In 2022, videos on social media showed Styles was hit by Skittles thrown at him at a concert in Los Angeles.
The incident sparked Skittles’ official Twitter account after a message to their followers stating, “I didn’t think I should say this: please don’t throw skittles.”
Styles once again joins the list of artists who have recently been hit by objects while performing on stage, along with Drake, Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini and Ava Max, as seen in several videos posted to social media.
Rexha and Drake were both targeted by cellphones thrown at them while on stage, seriously injuring Rexha in the eye.
Ballerini was punched in the face in June when a bracelet was thrown at her while she was performing, causing her to pause the song and step off stage, and Max was punched in the face by a concertgoer who entered the stage before being swept away by the security .
The mounting incidents have sparked outrage from other performers such as Adele, who told her Las Vegas audience earlier this month to “stop throwing things at the artist!”
