Harry Styles

The One Direction lads must be all over the place with their emotions after Zayn Malik revealed he was quitting the band yesterday so we can forgive them for having a little cry.

And yesterday a video emerged online in which Harry Styles appeared to be sobbing on stage during their gig in Jakarta, Indonesia shortly after Zayn made his announcement.

More news!

    But it seems there’s more to it than meets the eye (especially in Hazza’s case) – someone threw a glowstick at the singer which hit him in the face and made it look like he was rubbing his eyes and crying.

    Soon after yesterday’s concert, a fan posted a clip online which appeared to show Harry shedding some tears, writing: “Harry was crying at the concert tonight. He knew it would happen.”

    However, an extended version of the film has now surfaced showing an object flying into the star’s face.

    A fan tweeted: “Someone threw a lightstick at Harry in Jakarta which made it look like he was crying!”

    So maybe Harry wasn’t really sobbing his eyes out over Zayn quitting the band.

    We’re sure he’s shed a few tears in private...
