After rescheduling his tour back in March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Harry Styles has now announced that is is postponed indefinitely as the future is still uncertain. The news came today via the singer’s Twitter page, following yesterday’s revelation that London will be going into tier 3 – the highest level on the scale used to describe the number of Covid-19 cases in the UK.

Styles wrote a message to explain the development, which read, “Everyone’s health and safety remains our top priority, which is why I unfortunately have to postpone my UK and European shows planned for Feb/March 2021 until further notice.” He continued, “I really hope to play these shows and will have news for you in the new year on when they will take place. I can’t wait to see you all on the road as soon as it’s safe to do so. Treat people with kindness.”
