Harry Styles thanks One Direction bandmates at final Wembley show

Harry Styles brought his record-breaking 12-night residency at London's Wembley Stadium to a close on Saturday, marking a significant milestone in his solo career. The English singer, 32, delivered an emotional tribute to his former One Direction bandmates, acknowledging their crucial role in his journey to stardom.

Addressing the 80,000 fans in attendance, Styles expressed deep gratitude to Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and the late Liam Payne. "I wouldn’t be on this stage if it wasn’t for four friends of mine that were a massive part of this journey," he told the crowd. "I wanna thank Niall, Louis, Zayn and my dear friend Liam for these nights and everything that I learnt in this time, the friendship, everything…none of this would be possible, I wouldn’t be here without you, thank you so much."

The residency saw Styles become the first artist to perform 12 consecutive shows at Wembley Stadium, a feat that eclipsed Coldplay's previous record of 10 nights and Taylor Swift's eight-night residency from 2024. The tour supports Styles' latest album, "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," and is set to continue with international dates.

Styles also reflected on his beginnings, recalling how One Direction was formed at The X Factor in 2010, just outside the stadium. "Sixteen years ago…just outside of this building, just next door…I was put into a band that changed my life," he shared, adding that returning to Wembley always brings back powerful memories.

Sixteen years ago…just outside of this building, just next door…I was put into a band that changed my life. As I drive through this area, I’m flooded with memories from that time. And every time I have the privilege of returning to Wembley, it’s meant an incredibly great deal to me. Thank you so much.
