In fanvideosshared to social media from one of Styles' recent Love on Tour shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, the former One Direction member was finishing a performance of his recent hit single “As It Was” when several pieces of candy that appeared to be Skittles flew his way — and one landed right in his eye.
As the candy hit Styles, 28, in the eye, he immediately bent down and held his eye, seemingly out of pain, per audiencevideos. He quickly bounced back, however, bowing and blowing kisses while he thanked the audience before performing the set’s final song, “Kiwi.”
According to another video shared tosocial media, Styles was later seen driving himself out of the venue in a black Range Rover while rubbing his eye.
On Tuesday, the Skittles brand itself decided to weigh in on the matter in atweet.“Didn’t think I needed to say this: Please don’t throw Skittles,” read a post from its official account.

And it’s gonna be…” Styles teased the audience in a video shared to TikTok as he made sure Sidney, who is four months pregnant, wanted to find out the news in that fashion.
He continued: “Los Angeles, this is a Friday night you will never forget. Here we go. May I please get some tense gender reveal music?”
Styles continued to tease his fans and work up a drumroll as the band provided a soundtrack. “I know something you don’t know,” he sang.
