Harry Styles accidentally choked on his water while attempting to do his famous “whale” spit move during his Wembley Stadium performance Friday night.
The combination of the stunt and the scorching European heatwave had the “Watermelon Sugar” hitmaker, 32, falling to the floor onstage where he attempted to catch his breath.
Fan video circulating on social media showed the singer snatch his bottle of water from the stage floor, take a quick sip before promptly spitting it back out and quickly falling on his back.
As he laid on the floor for several seconds, Styles was recorded attempting to loosen his tie and hit his chest a few times.
After he appeared to gather himself, the pop star jumped back up and ran off the stage, waving to the crowd as he made his way out.
The scene prompted some worry from fans as they sounded off with reactions online.
“Must admit that on the livestream I was afraid for a few seconds 😱,” one netizen shared in the Instagram comments under a post of the incident.
“Oh HELL no! He was struggling for REAL real,” one fan wrote via X.
“Why didn’t any of his team notice that he was struggling with his tie? This is so bad,” another wrote.
Reps for Styles did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Hopefully, the “As It Was” singer is feeling better as he’s scheduled to perform another show at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Per the singer’s official site, his run at the famed venue is scheduled to continue with shows on June 29, July 1, 3 and 4 — meaning, he won’t be able to join his fiancé Zoë Kravitz at his ex Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce next weekend.
