In honor of Harry Styles‘ historic 15-night run at New York’s Madison Square Garden the legendary Manhattan venue raised a banner commemorating the superstar singer/songwriter’s record-setting run of sold-out shows.
A month after Harry began his “Love on Tour” NYC residency on August 20, it was a night to remember the Garden fitted each seat with its own feather boa, officially marking the arena as Harry’s House.
In a surprise ceremony during the encore of Styles singing “Sign of the Times,” Oprah Winfrey bestie and CBS-TV news anchor, Gayle King presented the UK musician with his banner, saying “Harry, we don’t want to say goodnight to you.”
Taking a tissue from a fan near the catwalk, Harry wept openly, and with his voice cracking, he told the crowd, “Any time that you come to Madison Square Garden and you see that, remember it’s because of you. That is ours” adding “I’m gonna come back when everyone is gone, and just sit and look at that for a while.”
Harry Styles is only the third music artist to have a banner hanging in the rafters of Madison Square Garden including Billy Joel who has two of them – one for his 129 shows there, and another for the 83 shows of his long-running (and ever-amazing) monthly residency.
