Harry Styles was left apologising to fans as he performed this weekend after he forgot the lyrics to his own song in an on-stage blunder.
The singer, 32, is currently on his Together, Together world tour after the release of his fourth studio album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally earlier this year.
But as he took to the stage in Amsterdam to sing his hit Cherry he looked completely lost.
Looking visibly confused ahead of the first verse he stopped playing his guitar and looked out into the crowd, asking them: ‘What are the words? What’s the first verse?’
The fans then tried to help him but as they began singing the words at different times it made things even worse.
Harry then had to walk to the front of the crowd to directly ask one fan for the words before heading back to the mic.

Looking visibly confused ahead of the first verse he stopped playing his guitar and looked out into the crowd, asking them: ‘What are the words? What’s the first verse?’
He then quipped: ‘Sorry about that’ as he geared up to sing the song again.
Fans reacted to the clip on TikTok, saying: ‘It seems as though he was being really silly last night?! I’m glad he had a good time. Gotta enjoy life, we are only here for a short bit. Smile, laugh, and love.’,
‘God, I love him.’,
‘He’s so cute.’
It comes after last week his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan admitted he is envious of Harry’s stratospheric success as he reflected on his solo career.
One Direction, who were catapulted to global fame after starring on The X Factor in 2010, announced an indefinite hiatus in January 2016 and have since focused on their solo careers.
Now, Niall, 32, has said ‘there’s nearly a jealousy’ to watching three-time Grammy Award winner Harry and bandmate Louis Tomlinson, 34, perform, but it spurs him on to make new music.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, the Dinner Party singer said: ‘Watching mates release stuff is fuel to the fire, there’s nearly a jealousy to it.
‘My solo career has been a nice slow build, which is the idea because the aim is to have a bit of longevity – my favourite artists have had 50-year careers. I love walking the dog around the place but this is what I was born to do.’

Asked whether there would be a One Direction reunion, the Irish star added: ‘God knows, I mean look at Harry there, look at Louis, the boys are flying, so God knows but everyone still asks about it, it’s exciting.’
Harry has had huge success following going solo after releasing his albums Harry Styles, Fine Line, Harry’s House and more recently Kiss All The Time. Disco Occasionally.
During this time, he has won three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Performance for single Watermelon Sugar.
The As It Was singer is currently on massive global Together Together stadium tour which will see him perform a historic 12-night residency at Wembley Stadium this summer.
Meanwhile Niall released his fourth studio album Dinner Party, on June 5, following the success of his 2023 album The Show.
Niall, Harry and Louis found fame alongside bandmates Zayn Malik, who quit 1D in 2015, and Liam Payne, who tragically died aged 31 on October 16, 2024 after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina.
