Styles left his fans with an emotional farewell in 2023 following the conclusion of the infamous ‘Love on Tour’. He composed a piano ballad to perform for them at the final show on the 169-date run, then reflected on the tour in a rare Instagram story.
“It’s been the greatest experience of my entire life. I feel so incredibly full and happy. It’s all because of you,” he wrote. “You have given me memories that will last a lifetime, more than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you for your time, your energy, and your love.”
