Harry Styles Halts Concert to Find His First-Ever Teacher in the Audience

During the 28-year-old singer Harry Styles  Wednesday concert at Emirates Old Trafford, U.K., Styles stopped the show to find someone in the crowd.

“I’m going to ask a favor from you because I’d like to try and find someone in the audience .My first-ever school teacher is here tonight. Her name's Mrs. Vernon and I believe she's in the crowd."

Styles was quickly able to spot Mrs. Vernon, falling to his knees in excitement and appreciation when he saw the educator.

"There she is. Mrs. Vernon! How are you? I hear you’re retiring," he said. "I’d just like to thank you for everything in those formative years. Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you’re here tonight."

After the special shout out, Mrs. Vernon herself told The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show about her experience teaching Styles more than two decades ago.

As Styles grew, Mrs. Vernon said, she and other teachers "saw how talented he was with his music."
