Harry Styles drops surprise video, fans say 2026 comeback is upon us
Harry Styles fans are gearing up for a highly anticipated comeback in 2026 after the pop star made a slight return to the public eye on Saturday, Dec. 27.
The "As It Was" singer's YouTube channel posted an over eight-minute video chronicling the last show of his "Love On Tour" at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on July 22, 2023. The video shows fans getting ready outside, preparing for their idol's last show of the over tour that commenced in September 2021 and spanned more than 170 dates.
"(There's) some sadness because it is the last show, then he will disappear," one fan says in Italian.
The video later shows the British musician playing a piano ballad cover of the song "Forever, Forever," which the video is also titled. Fans are seen emotionally stunned and in awe as they watch Styles sing in a dazzling tassel sequin vest.
Styles has not released music since the May 2022 release of funky synth-pop project "Harry's House," which took home the coveted album of the year Grammy in 2023. Following his win, he completed a historic 15-show run at Madison Square Garden and pursued an acting career, appearing in films such as "Don't Worry Darling" and "My Policeman."
He has maintained a low profile following the tragic death of his friend and fellow One Direction bandmate Liam Payne at age 31 on Oct. 16, 2024. In a rare social media post, Styles remembered his "lovely friend" as someone who loved "making other people happy."
He has, however, been spotted on the run this year, including at the Berlin Marathon in September and the Tokyo Marathon in March.
Is Harry Styles releasing new music in 2026? What fans think
Though the Dec. 27 "Forever, Forever" video had no direct tease of new music, Styles fans, many of whom call themselves "Harries," are already committing to the bit that 2026 will be their year.
Three years have separated his last two albums, "Fine Line" and "Harry's House," leading many to believe it's time to start the countdown.
USA TODAY has reached out to Styles' reps for comment.
