What's the opposite of a "Watermelon Sugar" high? Whatever it is, it's what Vancouver fans of British pop star Harry Styles are feeling after learning his upcoming Vancouver concert has been cancelled.
Styles, whose solo career has skyrocketed since he first shot to fame as a member of One Direction, was set to play Rogers Arena in Vancouver on August 16, 2021.
The Vancouver stop on his "Love on Tour" tour had been rescheduled from August 23, 2020, with the venue planning to honour those tickets to the sold-out show on the new date.
However, on July 14, Styles re-announced his "Love on Tour" dates, which start Sept. 4 in Las Vegas, and continue on through November, exclusively in the U.S.
Rogers Arena removed the Styles concert from its website (though it can still be seen - for now - on Ticketmaster).
Fans who may have been holding out hope the show would go on may have been in denial, seeing as British Columbia's health officials indicated in May that the soonest indoor concerts could return would be in Step 4 of the province's four-step "Restart Plan."
The earliest B.C. could enter Step 4 would be Sept. 2, 2021 - two weeks after the planned Styles concert at Rogers Arena.
Vancouver's many Harry Styles fans, however, are still processing their feelings at missing out on seeing the singer perform live:
No word yet on what Styles plans to do regarding his Canadian and UK dates. In Vancouver, Rogers Arena lists its next shows as rescheduled Celine Dion dates in late August.
