Harry Styles collapsed to the stage floor after choking on water during his Wembley show on Friday night, as a record-breaking London heatwave pushed temperatures to 36.4C, the highest June temperature ever recorded in the capital.
Choking Incident During Performance
In a TikTok clip, Styles was seen blowing water out of his mouth for his signature "whale" spit before visibly choking. The As It Was singer then fell to the floor, continuing to choke for several seconds. He eventually got back up and waved to the crowd, appearing fine, but many fans were left worried.
One concertgoer told the Daily Mail: "As Harry ran down the stage for the final time in preparation for his famous whale he sprayed the crowd before he then started to cough. Managing to suppress his chokes, he performed the whale before falling to the floor where he lay on his back and continued to cough and splutter!"
Fan Reactions on Social Media
Concerned fans shared their worries on social media. One wrote: "When he fell to his knees, my heart stopped in shock. Harry is incredible, it surely takes immense strength and stamina to perform in these temperatures, and yet he always gives it his all." Another added: "I nearly had a heart attack watching the live stream!! Thought he collapsed from heat or exhaustion!!! Love you dearly Harry!!" A third commented: "I hope he's okay but oh my god his face has me in TEARSSS."
Heatwave Warning and Precaution
Earlier in his Wembley residency, Styles had urged fans to stay hydrated and offered to stop the show if anyone struggled with the heat. Strict rules for the record-breaking run were relaxed during the heatwave. Harry's representatives have been contacted for comment.
