Harry Styles’ Love On Tour raises more than £5 million for charity

Harry Styles’ world tour has raised more than £5 million for charity.

The former One Direction star wrapped up his Love On Tour shows last week after playing to more than five million people over 173 dates.

The shows have raised more than $6.5 million (£ 5 million) for charities, including causes of reproductive rights, gun control, humanitarian aid and voting rights.

They include Planned Parenthood, Choose Love, Physicians For Reproductive Health, Black Minds Matter UK, Save The Children, International Rescue Committee and Every Town For Gun Safety.

Styles kicked off Love On Tour in September 2021 before wrapping up at the RCF Arena in Italy on July 22.

He has toured the UK, Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australasia.

The run included 20 nights at Madison Square Garden in New York, six nights at London’s Wembley stadium and a headline slot at Coachella festival across two nights.

The tour supported the release of Styles’ third album Harry’s House, which was a critical and commercial hit and bagged him the Grammy for album of the year.

Styles also won four Brit awards, for album of the year, British song of the year for As It Was, British artist of the year and best British pop R&B act.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Styles would be among the famous faces to make a special appearance in the world’s longest-running comic, The Beano.

To mark its 85th anniversary, the comic will host guest appearances from top stars including Styles, Stormzy and Adele.

The special commemorative issue, on sale from Wednesday July 26, also features the King and Queen alongside other notable celebrities such as F1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton, former England footballer Jill Scott, and broadcaster David Attenborough.

The guests were picked after 3,000 children aged seven to 14 were polled to work out which celebrities they would most like to see in cartoon form.
