Another weekend, another musician gets hit in the face. This time, Harry Styles was pelted in the face by an object while performing in Vienna. In a video shared on social media, the "As It Was" singer was walking along the stage as an object hit him in his eyes. Immediately wincing and holding his eyes, the Grammy winner continued holding his eyes and walked off the stage.

The English singer-songwriter, still on his Love on Tour in Europe until July 22, wore a green sequined outfit Saturday night. In another video of the incident, he can be seen crouching to the ground for a moment, then climbing up a flight of steps. Harry reportedly finished his entire show despite the attack, including his encore closer, "Kiwi."

Sadly for Styles, this wasn't the first time he's had objects thrown at him while performing. Last month, the musician was hit by a bouquet of flowers in Wales. In November, a handful of Skittles. Early last year in New York City, he managed to dodge some chicken nuggets and paused the show to joke about it. Finally, when he was still a member of One Direction, Harry was hit by tampons (still in their packaging).

As we've recently reported, Bebe Rexha, Ava Max, and Kelsea Ballerini have all been hit in the face on stage. During a recent Weekends with Adele show at The Colosseum in Las Vegas, Adele spoke about the etiquette people seem to lack as of late. “Have you noticed how people are forgetting f—ing show etiquette at the moment,” the "Easy on Me" singer said. “People are throwing s— on stage. Have you seen them?” She then joked (but could definitely be serious), “I f—ing dare you — I dare you [to] throw something at me. I’ll f—ing kill you.”
