Harry Styles<\/a> was forced to apologise<\/a> to fans after a hilarious moment onstage, with the singer forgetting the words to one of his most popular songs during a concert in Amsterdam. <\/p>\n

The British pop sensation<\/a> began strumming the chords to his song Cherry while standing on stage in the Netherlands, before his face visibly dropped into a confused expression. <\/p>\n

Styles was mid guitar strum when his face dropped, realising he couldn’t remember the words to his song, Cherry. \u00a0TikTok\/@1concertlegend<\/p>\n

Styles, 32, then steps away from the mic, turning to his band to ask \u201cwhat are the words\u201d before turning back to the crowd, trying to start the song again. <\/p>\n

When the singer, who\u2019s touring<\/a> off the back of his new album<\/a> Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally, still couldn\u2019t recall the words, he looked to his loyal fan base to ask them for help. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are the words?\u201d he asked the crowd, before adding \u201cWhat\u2019s the first verse?\u201d <\/p>\n

The singer then stepped towards the crowd to try and hear the lyrics; however, the crowd started singing the song from different points, prompting him to approach one fan from the edge of the stage, who eagerly helped him. <\/p>\n

He quickly returned to the microphone with his signature cheeky grin and an apology. <\/p>\n

\u201cSorry about that,\u201d he said while chuckling. <\/p>\n

The moment was recorded by fans close to the stage, with the video going viral online and fans laughing along with him in the comments. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s so lovely only he would get away with that,\u201d one person wrote. <\/p>\n

He turned to the crowd to ask for the lyrics. \u00a0TikTok\/@1concertlegend<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is so funny,\u201d another fan wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was like, \u2018I have not sung this one in a while help me out here.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Cherry is from Style\u2019s second solo album, Fine Line, which came out in 2019, with the star writing the song in 2018. <\/p>\n

Styles is in the middle of his world tour, which will bring the singer to Australia<\/a> in November and December for shows in Melbourne and Sydney. <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Together, Together\u00a0world tour, which includes six dates in Australia to round out the seven-city global residency in December, was announced in January.<\/p>\n

Fans have raised concerns about the stage design.\u00a0Anthony Pham\/Getty Images for HS<\/p>\n

The tour has stirred up some controversy among fans, who raised issues with the stage design, saying it obstructed parts of the show, depending on where you\u2019re sitting. <\/p>\n

Styles claimed his creative direction had come from the desire to \u201cbe in it\u201d with fans throughout the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be as close to as many of you as possible, because that\u2019s what this tour is all about,\u201d he explained to the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about being together, having fun together, sharing a moment together, dancing together, being with your friends, being with strangers, getting swayed with your friends, getting swayed with strangers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is how I made\u00a0this album<\/a>\u00a0and that is how I would like you to listen to it tonight. Thank you for being here with us, thank you for coming back to stay with us, it means a lot to us, thank you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tour\u2019s official representative also told the\u00a0BBC\u00a0the floor concept was designed to \u201cgive fans freedom\u201d to move around during the concert.<\/p>\n

Following the\u00a0initial backlash<\/a>\u00a0after night one of his Netherlands tour, Styles\u2019 team released a statement assuring future attendees that they would address widespread sight line issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor future venues, we are working as quickly as possible to make adjustments that also fit within safety code and local compliance,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

After his 10-show run in Amsterdam, the newly engaged\u00a0Watermelon Sugar High\u00a0singer will head to London, followed by Brazil, Mexico City and New York, before arriving Down Under in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harry Styles was forced to apologise to fans after a hilarious moment onstage, with the singer forgetting the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469669,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-469668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469668\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
