Viewers throw Harry Styles – and punch him in the eye

Harry Styles was hit by an object on stage in Vienna during his concert. Not the first incident for the British pop star. Something similar happened to Styles on stage in Cardiff last month when a bunch of flowers hit him in the face. The incident in Austria now seemed to have been much more painful.

In a Twitter video captured by a fan of the scene, the pop star can be seen walking across the stage when a small but apparently heavy object hits his left eye. Apparently startled by the pain, Styles puts his hand over his eye and continues walking with his head bowed.

Incidents have been increasing lately: in Los Angeles last November, a handful of cones was thrown in his face by the public, after which he had to cover his eyes with his hand. Harry Styles is currently at the end of his “Love On” tour and the last of the four remaining concerts will take place in Italy on July 22.

The subject of objects thrown on stage is also currently on the minds of other musicians. Rapper Drake was hit by a smartphone during his concert this week. Pop singer Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a mobile phone last month – the wound even had to be stitched. And country pop singer Kelsea Ballerini was recently punched in the face by a bracelet thrown at her on stage.

Pop star Adele also spoke out on the subject last week. At one of her concerts in Las Vegas, she said, “Have you noticed people forget about goddamn show etiquette right now? People just throw shit on stage, did you see that?” And warned her fans: “Don’t be afraid. If you dare to throw something at me, I’ll fucking kill you.” (spot on news, t-online)
