Harry Styles turned 29 on Wednesday (1st February), but even when you're a pop superstar you don't always get a day off for your birthday. As Harry continued the North American leg of 'Love On Tour', as well as him belting out his hits, the show was full of birthday treats, as his fans gave an impromptu rendition of 'Happy Birthday' to celebrate the special day.

Captured on video and shared on social media, Harry couldn't believe it when he heard his fans singing to him. He stood on stage looking out at his 11,000 fans, blowing them a kiss, before putting his hand on his heart to say thank you. 😍

The 'As It Was' singer also shared some moments from his birthday gig including a pic of him crouching under the stage holding a single blue balloon through a trap door, and another photo of him on stage being presented with a birthday cake, with the numbers 29 on top.

A video of the moment he was presented with the cake was also shared on Twitter by a fan who wrote: 'OH MY GODODNNDND'. (sic) In the video, Harry can be seen blowing out the candles as the audience once again sing 'Happy Birthday'.

The BRIT Award nominee, who was wearing a bright pink sequinned outfit, told the audience: "Obviously, I have a fear of people not coming to my birthday party. So, I just thought I would do a show and maybe you might come."

We are now just over a week away from one of the biggest nights in British music, on Saturday 11th February The BRIT Awards will take place at the O2 arena in London, with a line-up featuring Harry Styles, along with David Guetta with Becky Hill and Ella Henderson, Sam Smith and Kim Petras, Lizzo, Stormzy, BRIT Rising Star nominee Cat Burns, Wet Leg and recently announced Lewis Capaldi.
