The suggestion that Styles had attended a U2 Las Vegas concert last year with this new hairstyle immediately startled fans and had some questioning if it was genuine, with others speculating whether his ex-girlfriend and renowned singer Taylor Swift played a role in the change.

Months before he unintentionally sent his fans into a panic, Styles had evoked a different kind of emotion. According to a report from The Blast in July, the Redditch native was at the receiving end of a troubling concert trend in which audience members throw objects at performers during their sets. 

While performing in Vienna, Austria, on Saturday night, videos posted online depicted the One Direction star wearing a vibrant green sequin jumpsuit as he moved across the stage between songs. During this moment, an unidentified object was thrown at him, hitting him directly in the eye. 

The action not only caused visible discomfort for Styles as he crouched down and shielded his eyes with both hands, but it also unveiled his fans' anger.

"I hate that people keep doing this!! He shows everyone so much respect and kindness and he gets repaid like this," one upset person shared via Instagram, as a second queried, "Bro, wtf is wrong with people?? They need to start banning things at concerts if people can't handle themselves properly." A third viewer also penned:

"This person must have been close to him to throw and hit him, so they waited all day and most likely camped just to hurt him?! Celebs will stop performing live and push the audience further away from them if people don't stop!"
