Harry Styles took a moment during his concert in New York City on Thursday night to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth II, who died hours earlier at 96.
The singer told the crowd there was “some very sad news” from his native England and asked fans to “please join me in a round of applause for 70 years of service.”
After about 25 seconds of applause and cheers, Styles continued with his 11th of 15 concerts at Madison Square Garden.
