As witnessed by the live audience, the performer continued to touch and rub his eye for the rest of the show and was visibly squinting throughout.

Later, in an Instagram live, Styles’ music director clarified that the performer was hit by the Skittles candy during the concert, however, informed that the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ actor wasn’t injured.

He also requested fans not to throw any more candies towards the stage during any future performance.

Following the incident, several of Styles’ fans turned to social media to express their angst. “Like are you joking?? look how hard he recoils,” wrote a furious Twitter user. Another noted, “This crap needs to stop.”
