Harry Styles has bumped the first leg of his Love On Tour to 2021 due to COVID-19.
“Anyone who knows me, knows that performing has always been my favourite part of working in music,” he wrote in a message shared on social media. “However, during times like these, the safety and protection of touring crew, fans, and everyone else around the world is an immediate priority.”
Styles has postponed the UK and European leg of the tour, which was due to kick off April 15 in Birmingham, England. The 25-city trek will now begin Feb. 12 in Bologna, Italy and wrap up on March 30, 2021 in Moscow.
