Harry Styles Vs. Heckler: ‘I’m Going To Remember You’
From the archive: published Sep 23, 2015, 11 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Harry Styles and the rest of One Direction are used to screaming girls, devoted fans, and everyone walking away loving their shows. So, when Harry asked the audience at the Apple Music Festival in London on Tuesday night if they were enjoying the concert, and a fan yelled out “No,” and Styles seemed to take it hard.
With a lingering stare and an irritated look, Harry acknowledged the heckler’s dissatisfaction and expressed his own.
“Right. I’m going to remember you.”
Fortunately, this exchange was a minor issue given some of the incidents that have happened at shows in the last little while, as pointed out by India Today . While on a concert stop in Canada, Styles took a water bottle to the groin, while at another event he got hit in the head by a can. At least no physical harm came to him on Tuesday.
The Apple Music Festival show was attended by Harry Styles’ sister, Gemma, who was on a date, watching her brother wow most of the audience while wearing a much talked about pink, polka-dotted shirt.
According to the Daily Mail , Harry took a moment to check up on his sis and point out that he was on top of the situation.
“Sorry if I seem a little distracted. My sister is on a date. They’re up there somewhere… So just please behave yourselves, it’s disgusting.”
Styles’ bandmate Liam Payne chimed in as well emphasizing that Gemma’s date was not going to get away with anything while on One Direction’s watch.
“We’re all watching you!”
The event was special as only 1700 fans were in attendance, with tickets being given away for free through a ballot. The Daily Star reports that this is one of the smallest crowds the mega group has played in front of since 2011.
Harry Styles and the 1D boys also took the opportunity on Tuesday to announce the release of their next album, titled Made in the A.M., which will be released on November 13. Fans are, to say the least, excited.
#MadeInTheAM will slay, mark my words. we just need to make sure it doesn’t get leaked before the release date #EMABiggestFans1D

Following this release, the band has promised to take a hiatus within the next year which has been met with shock, disbelief, and sadness by die-hard fans. This, of course, was also after the heavily publicized exit of the band by Zayn Malik who is working on solo material.
According to Hollywood Life, however, Zayn Malik isn’t the only one working on solo material. A new album by Harry Styles is rumored to be in the works with 20 songs already written. All of these One Direction solo music should tide fans over until the triumphant return of Harry Styles and the rest of 1D.
