Harry Styles\u2019 brief but jarring collapse during his London performance this weekend was not a result of the heatwave affecting Europe, but choking.<\/p>\n

Insiders close to the sold-out Wembley Stadium concert told TMZ that the moment was due to \u201ca brief onstage mishap involving water\u201d during the 32-year-old star\u2019s \u201cwhale move.\u201d It was then that the\u201dAperture\u201d singer inadvertently choked on the water.<\/p>\n

A TikTok shows the moment Styles \u201cwent literally on the floor,\u201d lying on stage, on his back \u2014 to the applause of the crowd \u2014 and slowly but surely started coughing, before jumping back up. The Grammy winner then ran across the stage and waved to the crowd, as flickers of his hit, \u201cAs It Was,\u201d sounded.<\/p>\n

Friday though brought record-breaking heats to England, which sweltered through a whopping 36.9 degrees Celsius, or 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n

In March, Styles released his long-awaited fourth studio album, \u201cKiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.\u201c<\/p>\n

The professional news has been somewhat overshadowed by that of his whirlwind engagement to Zo\u00eb Kravitz, to whom he was first linked in summer 2025.<\/p>\n
