Harry Styles was forced to stop his concert at the United Centre in Chicago after a fan threw a water bottle that struck him in the groin. Video footage shows the 28-year-old singer bending over in pain before recovering and continuing the show.
"That was unfortunate," Styles said, as he appeared to shake off the discomfort. He took a moment to breathe deeply before reassuring the crowd: "Ok, shake it off, we're all good."
Making light of the incident, the Watermelon Sugar singer joked that he would speak in a squeaky voice for the rest of the performance. This is not the first time Styles has been hit by objects thrown on stage; in August, fans in New York threw chicken nuggets at him during his Love on Tour show.
The incident comes amid a successful year for Styles, whose single "As It Was" and album "Harry's House" have become the biggest-selling single and album of the year in the UK. "As It Was" spent 10 weeks atop the Official Singles Chart and has amassed over 1.3 million combined chart units.
Styles' latest film, My Policeman, is set to premiere on Prime Video on 21 October after a theatrical release. The queer period drama stars Styles as Police Constable Tom Burgess in 1950s Brighton.
