Carolina singer, Harry Styles has raised a whooping $1.2 million out of his 10-month tour in a bid to support charity.
Harry began his world tour in September 2017 and ended last Saturday with a concert in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles. During his time on the tour, Styles helped raise money for charity and even helped save the planet.
“He sold just about a million tickets to 89 concerts and from the proceeds, combined with contributions from promoter Live Nation and the GLSEN PRIDE campaign, about $1.2 million was donated to 62 charities around the world”, reported E! News.
Styles tour also promoted the HeadCount non-profit organisation that promotes voter registration, resulting in hundreds of people registering to vote, and promoted water conservation by saving the equivalent of 10,000 single use water bottles by fans and 3,200 by the band and crew, and recycling more than 6,500 gallons of water from buses, offices, dressing rooms and other backstage areas.
Styles performed at Manchester Arena and paid tribute to the 22 victims of the 2017 suicide bombing of an Ariana Grande concert at the venue. In October, Harry played Washington D.C. and dedicated his performance of his hit single ‘Sign of the Times’ to the victims and survivors of the Hurricane Marina in Puerto Rico. He also had a Puerto Rican flag attached to hi mic stand.
“Kissy. Thank you for coming out to see us, it has been a pleasure playing for you all. I’m off to write some more music and I hope I’ll be seeing you again very soon. Thank you to my band, the crew, and all of you for making this tour so wonderful. Treat people with kindness. Goodbye for now. I love you all. H,” said Harry in a farewell message.
