Harry Styles has postponed the first of his concerts in Chicago due to illness in his touring party.

The As It Was hitmaker was meant to kick off his six-night run of gigs in the Windy City on Thursday (October 6) but hours before the show, the United Center revealed the show had been moved to Monday ‘out of an abundance of caution’.

In a statement, the venue tweeted: ‘Out of an abundance of caution, tonight’s Harry Styles show on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at United Center has been rescheduled to Monday, October 10, 2022 due to band/crew illness.

‘All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date. All additional show dates will play as scheduled. An email from Ticketmaster will be sent directly to ticket holders with more info.’

In a subsequent message, it was confirmed fans who had received wristbands while in the queue could retain their places in line on Monday.

They clarified on their website: ‘The numbered wristbands given on Thursday, Oct. 6 for GA will be honoured on the rescheduled date of Monday, Oct. 10.

‘Guests can line up in the previous order given as long as they arrive before 5 PM on Monday, Oct. 10. Any numbered wristband arriving after 5 PM will be placed in line after the last guest in line.

‘Original numbered wristband must be presented on Monday, Oct. 10 to be honoured. Guests without previous numbered wristbands will be placed in line after the last guest in line.’

A spokesperson for the 28-year-old singer – who is due to be in Chicago until 18 October before the tour moves on to California – has not revealed if Harry himself was ill or a member of his entourage.

Meanwhile, the Don’t Worry Darling actor hasn’t given any further information on his social media channels.

Harry is enjoying a lot of success in the US, with As It Was recently becoming the longest-running number one by a British artist in the US singles chart after spending 15 weeks in the top spot.

It meant the One Direction star trumped the record initially held by Sir Elton John and Mark Ronson for Candle In the Wind and Uptown Funk, respectively.
