The second to last show in Los Angeles had a similar moment: Harry said he didn't want to leave the stage. Some fans even believed that he said "I'm staying" during As It Was; however, no one was entirely sure.

Fans online felt betrayed after Harry's comment. While some made jokes on Twitter on TikTok about selling their tickets for the upcoming European leg of the tour, others said he needed to be "humbled."
Isn't He British?
At the same time, many people that aren't even fans of the singer said this was unnecessary and that this behavior made him less likable. Others said that it looked like he forgot he was British and that it was time for his tour to end. The singer is a native of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, UK.
The Tour Was Postponed Because Of Covid
Love On Tour, Style's second world tour, was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was initially set to promote Harry's sophomore album, Fine Line; still, it ended up promoting his third album, Harry's House, which was released right before he started the second leg of the tour in Europe.
When Will It End?
The tour is reported to be 160 shows when it ends on July 2023, on the eighth leg, 86 of them were in the US. Harry is set to perform in America two more times in Palm Springs, on January 31st and on his birthday, February 1st. Later he will begin the three remaining legs in Oceania, Asia, and Europe.
