“I love to sing those songs, they’re amazing songs and I never want to let them die. There’s a lot of different songs and I was thinking this morning, I’d love to sing Fireproof. I just want to keep singing them, everyone is out singing them, I think that’s nice. And it feels good, but also a bit numb like I’m waiting for the back harmony.”

“I’ve sung this song [Little Things] on so many staircases in so many countries with so many people watching and still sometimes I’m like ‘what is the next word?’. […] When I was on stage, I was always singing, if you watch the videos, I never stop singing. I always sing, I sang everything and then Zayn went and I was like ‘Oh my god, I don’t know any of his bits.’ And on You and I, some of the high notes I was like… 'That’s gonna be a long process,’ but look where we are.”
“I was speaking to Louis recently. I’m always speaking to Louis and I see Niall on the road. And Harry I just kinda let him do his thing, I think it’s fair if he wants to have some space, have some space, it’s cool with me, it’s ok. I spent like 5 years in his pocket, not really in his pocket but you know what I mean it’s like I don’t need to… it’s the kind of friendships where like we’re all over the world but when I go and see them it’s like nothing’s changed and it’s like when we last left it and I know we’re good. When I see Harry, like I saw him at the Bowery months ago and he came and gave me like the warmest hug so I was like we’re cool, have your space, do your thing.”

A tiny detail of his show, a moment that was easy to overlook but resonant if you noticed: He didn’t even make it to the chorus of the first song before he pivoted to blow kisses at the fans seated behind the stage, letting them know from the start they were part of the action. That’s not just shrewd stagecraft; that’s a philosophical statement. His generous spirit was contagious all night. Shine on, you crazy diamond.
Avengers 4 but it’s me finding out that Thanos killed Harry Styles when he wiped out half the universe so I take that big grape down with my own two hands
