Harry Styles seems to be the latest victim of fans throwing objects at performers while they're on stage. 

In a recent video shared by a fan and reposted by Pop Crave, Styles can be seen grabbing his eye and stopping for a moment after something flew in the air and struck him directly in the face during his concert at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on Saturday. After pausing, Styles keeps walking but continues to hold his eye. It's unclear what was thrown at him or if his eye was injured. 

Styles continued the concert and did not appear to address the situation.

The incident is one of many in a recent string of fans behaving badly at concerts. Musicians including Bebe Rexha, Lil Nas X, Drake, and more have had to pause their shows after objects were hurled at them. During Rexha's show last month, a concertgoer threw a cell phone at the singer and hit her in the face giving her a black eye

Kelsea Ballerini paused her show last month after a fan threw a bracelet at her and struck her in the eye. The country singer briefly left the stage before returning to finish the concert. Pink also experienced some strange fan interactions during her show — a fan threw their mother's ashes on stage during one of the singer's concerts in London. She was also handed a full wheel of cheese at another show. 

Adele had a funny approach to the recent fan behavior during one of her residency shows in Las Vegas. While holding a t-shirt cannon, she told the crowd not to throw things at her. 

“Have you noticed how people are like forgetting f***ing show etiquette in America, they’re just throwing sh*t on stage. Have you seen that?” Adele said. “F***ing dare you. Dare you to throw something at me.”
