Rock stars are well used to having fans throwing a multitude of things at them on stage, generally things like flowers and bras, but Harry Styles paused a concert over the weekend after he was pelted with...chicken nuggets.
In footage that is going viral on social media, the former One Direction star shared some friendly banter with a reveler who threw the food on stage but despite calls from the audience to "eat it," Styles said he would not be sampling the nuggets as he leads a plant-based lifestyle.
The singer was performing at his Love On Tour concert at New York's Madison Square Garden on Saturday when he praised the fan's "very interesting approach" to getting his attention during the show.
"Who threw the chicken nugget?" the 28-year-old asked the crowd, before discovering a second one at his feet.
"That's another chicken nugget!" he exclaimed before the crowd started chanting: "Eat it! Eat it!"
"I don't eat chicken," he said apologetically, throwing the nugget into the audience.
Upon discovering the second nugget, Styles added: "First of all, this is cold, and I'm assuming very old..."
The fan who threw the snack then asked for it back prompting bewilderment from Styles who asked: "Why!?" He pleaded with them not to eat it before throwing it and adding: "Don't go looking for it—we'll get you another nugget, okay? Fear not."
A clip of the moment shared by Twitter user @kiwik94 has clocked up more than 148,000 views on Twitter.

The singer has been making headlines in recent weeks as his film Don't Worry Darling is set for release on September 23.
Styles is starring alongside Florence Pugh in the upcoming drama but a new trailer has left many viewers unimpressed by the star's accent.
The highly-anticipated psychological thriller is directed by Styles' current girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
The responses to the clip have been pretty brutal with viewers flocking to slam Styles' accent while praising Pugh's performance.
The criticism comes off the back of a difficult few days for the One Direction favorite who recently addressed accusations of queerbaiting in an interview with Rolling Stone which also drew the ire of Michael Jackson's fans and family after Styles was anointed as the new King of Pop.
Newsweek has reached out to Styles' management for comment.
