Harry Styles collapses on stage after choking on water
Washington, June 28
Harry Styles left fans worried after he appeared to choke on water and briefly fell to the stage while performing at Wembley Stadium in London during his Together, Together residency.
According to PEOPLE magazine, the incident occured on Friday while Styles was performing his hit song As It Was. After doing his signature "whale" move, where he sprays water into the air, the singer appeared to choke on the remaining water in his mouth before falling onto his back on stage.
Videos shared by fans on social media showed Styles coughing while lying on the stage. He covered his mouth with his fist as he continued coughing and appeared to take a few moments to catch his breath. Around 17 seconds later, he got back on his feet, waved to the crowd and finished the show.
The singer returned to the stage for his next Wembley concert on Saturday, showing that he had recovered. However, many fans continued to share their concern online.
Reacting to the videos, one fan wrote, "How come no one came and checked on him???"
Another commented, "Nobody ran to check on him."
A third fan pointed out, "Serious or not, he does need to be careful though," adding that it was "incredibly hot."
The concert took place during a record-breaking heatwave in the United Kingdom. According to the BBC, citing the Met Office, temperatures reached 37.3 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit) in Suffolk, while London recorded highs of around 97 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Met Office has continued to warn people about the extreme heat, saying it could lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses, especially among vulnerable people.
Styles' Wembley concerts are part of his Together, Together global residency in support of his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. After completing his London shows, he is scheduled to perform in Brazil, Mexico, the United States and Australia.

He should take a break in this heat. Performing in 37 degree Celsius is no joke. Here in India we get much hotter but still, dehydration can hit anyone. Good that he recovered quickly and finished the show – proper professional. 👏
This 'whale move' sounds dangerous if not done properly. He should use smaller sips of water on stage. By the way, why didn't the security or staff rush to help him? That's a lapse. Even in Indian concerts, we see better care for artists. Hope they improve.
Om Shanti! Choking on stage is really scary. But the fact that he got up and continued shows his dedication. Fans are right to be concerned though – 17 seconds is a long time when you're gasping. Stay hydrated, Harry! 🥤
It's good to see the global attention on his health. But seriously, the UK heatwave is making headlines everywhere – 37°C is normal summer in many Indian cities! Still, no one should suffer on stage. Hope his team has medical support ready for future shows.
As a fan, I'm relieved he's okay! The Together Together tour sounds amazing. Must be tough performing in that heat with all those lights and dancing. He should consider taking more breaks between songs. 🙏
