- Harry Styles collapsed on stage during his Friday night concert.

- Though he was back on his feet within moments, the incident sparked concern among fans online.

- The Wembley Stadium concert took place amid a record-breaking heat wave in the U.K.

Harry Styles left fans a little worried after lying down at the end of his recent Wembley Stadium set.

The "Aperture" singer, who is currently performing a 12-night residency at the London venue, sparked some concern during his June 26 show, which happened to take place in the middle of the city's record-breaking heat wave.

In fan-captured footage from the concert, Styles was doing one of his signature moves: spitting water into the air like a whale, after closing out the show with "As It Was." But instead of continuing on from there, Styles went to the ground, lying on his back and appearing to choke on some of the water left in his mouth.

After coughing for a few seconds and then wiping some water from his eyes, Styles eventually got back on his feet. He seemed to be just fine as he waved to fans, getting back on track with closing out the concert.

But that didn't stop fans from worrying about the singer online.

"Oh that man was DYING in the heat," one user commented on a TikTok video of the moment while another speculated, "Water went down the wrong pipe."

When one fan pointed out that Styles has spoken before about living with mild asthma, another added, "I cannot believe no one checked on him."

On X, several fans noted that it was "terrifying" to watch Styles go down.

"I nearly had a heart attack watching the live stream," wrote one user. "Thought he collapsed from heat or exhaustion!"

Representatives for Styles did not immediately respond to **'s request for comment.

Over the weekend, U.K temperatures reached 37.3 degrees Celsius (more than 99 degrees Fahrenheit) in Suffolk on Friday, beating the 50-year-old record by more than a full degree, according to the BBC. In London, temperatures peaked at 97 degrees Fahrenheit, per AccuWeather.

Styles' scary moment was unrelated to the weather, TMZ reported, citing a source and describing the incident as a "brief onstage mishap" in which he accidentally choked on some of the water in his mouth.

Whether it was an issue of heat or choking on water, Styles was back on his feet the following night, running all around the stage for the next night of his residency. Styles will continue with his next Wembley concert on June 29.

The London shows mark just one leg of his Together, Together global residency in support of his third and latest album, *Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally*. After wrapping his final London concert on  July 4, the Grammy winner will head to São Paulo, Brazil, and then Mexico City before arriving in the United States for 30 shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The tour will wrap up in Australia on December 13.
