Harry Stylesis standing with Ukraine.
The singer, 28, took part in his sold-out One Night Only in New York concert on Friday evening, where he performed all 13 tracks from his new album,Harry’s House, as well as some classic fan favorites.
Towards the end of his set, when he performed his popular tune “Sign of the Times” from his debut eponymous LP, Styles grabbed a Ukrainian flag from a fan and carried it around onstage with him as he belted the song.
At one point during the performance, the formerOne Directionmember — who wore a heart-patterned shirt and black leather pants — held the flag up with one hand as he gripped his microphone with the other.
Styles later also took a pride flag from another attendee, which has become a regular feature during his concerts.
