Harry Styles was shockingly hit in the face by a flying object while on stage at his Love On Tour concert in Vienna, Austria on Saturday.
The As It Was hitmaker, 29, who was struck by flowers during a performance last June, was sauntering on stage at the concert in Vienna when the latest incident occurred – which was caught on camera in a viral Twitter clip shared by Pop Crave.
Unfortunately, such events seem to be becoming more common, with stars like Bebe Rexha and Ava Max having experienced similar situations in recent weeks.
In the 10-second video, the former One Direction member was walking across the stage when suddenly a small object flew into view and seemingly landed near his left eye.
Styles immediately flinched and put a hand over his face.
Harry clearly felt pain and leaned forward for a few seconds before straightening up and walking further offstage, still placing his hand on his face.

However, this wasn’t the first time objects had been thrown at the Grammy winner.
Last June, Harry was punched in the face by a bunch of flowers during a gig in Cardiff.
The pop star had just finished his penultimate UK date at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium as part of his sold-out Love On Tour concerts when the flower arrangement flew through the air after being thrown into the audience by a fan.
The pink flowers pelted him in the face as he hopped down a flight of stairs and turned to greet the crowd as he completed his victory lap.
Harry was understandably confused by the incident, which was captured by a fan filming the star from the audience.
The Adore you hitmaker rubbed his face in shock after being hit, but ever the pro, he shrugged it off and kept going.
And late last year in November, the Don’t Worry Darling actor was hit in the face with a handful of cones by another fan during a concert tour stop in Los Angeles.
A video had also captured the surprise moment, prompting the star to immediately jump back and throw a hand at his eye.

Other stars have recently fallen victim to onstage attacks, with Drake nearly dodging a cell phone thrown at him in Chicago during his It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage on Thursday.
The hard object had hit the rapper’s wrist and promptly fell to the ground when he sang a cover of Ginuwine’s song So Anxious. Fortunately, Drake was unharmed and was able to continue the concert.
Last month in June, Bebe Rexha was also punched in the face with a smartphone, leaving the Meant To Be singer with a black eye and requiring stitches. She later gave her fans an update on Instagram by sharing a photo of the injury, but positively wrote, “I’m fine.”
Authorities confirmed to DailyMail.com that the attacker, Nicolas Malvagna, had been arrested and charged with assault in connection with the Lower Manhattan incident.
He reportedly told police, per People“I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.”
“As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s only intention was to get Ms. Rexha to take pictures with his phone and return them as a keepsake,” his attorney Todd A. Spodek told Dailymail.com. “It was never his intention to hurt Mrs. Rexha.” His next court date is later this month, on July 31.
Country pop singer Kelsea Ballerini recently had to deal with a bracelet thrown at her when she performed live.
