Fans go wild as Harry Styles flies Pride flag wearing Elton John inspired outfit
Performing at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on 15 September, the former One Direction star continued his Love On Tour shows in support of his latest album, Fine Line.
During the concert, he did a performance of Treat People with Kindness, a song that some have seen as a nod to the LGBTQ+ community due to its emotive lyrics.
Fans at the show were sent into a frenzy by the star when he took out a Pride flag featuring the inclusive Daniel Quasar design and began excitedly waving it in the air. “Be whoever it is you want to be in this room tonight,” he told the audience.
They instantly went wild for the move and loudly screamed in support of the Watermelon Sugar singer before he treated them to a solo rendition of What Makes You Beautiful.
