Harry Styles Stops Concert to Give Heartfelt Speech About Manchester Attack

While performing songs off his debut album last night in Mexico, Harry Styles stopped his show to address the crowd with a somber tone.

"I wanted to celebrate with you, but tonight doesn't feel like a night to celebrate," the newly solo artist said. "Last night there was a tragedy in my hometown of Manchester, and I have been left with a hole in my heart."

Styles continued, saying that the first show he ever attended was at the Manchester Arena where 22 concertgoers lost their lives from a terrorist attack after Ariana Grande's concert on Monday night.

"We have a choice, every single day that we wake up, of what we can put into the world," Harry said. "And I ask you to please choose love every single day. I promise that we will be back very soon to Mexico, we will be back with a full show, but tonight, if it's okay with you, we're going to play a small acoustic set. I hope you understand, and I hope you'll join me in a moment of silence for the victims and for the families of the victims in Manchester today. Thank you for understanding. I love you very much."
