Harry Styles, who's currently performing in São Paulo on his Together, Together tour, canceled one of his shows in the Brazilian city.

Harry Styles is putting a brief pause on one of his Together, Together concerts, according to reports.

The Grammy-winning pop star, who kicked off the headlining trek in May, canceled his concert in São Paulo on Tuesday, July 21, due to a "tour illness," Live Nation announced in a message to ticket holders obtained by USA TODAY. Styles, 32, touched down in the Brazilian city on July 17 for a four-show run, which includes a still-scheduled performance on Friday, July 24.

The Live Nation notice did not specify the illness that led to Tuesday's cancelation nor provide additional details on Styles' condition.

"We deeply regret to share that the Harry Styles show on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at MorumBIS has been canceled due to tour illness," the statement read. "We have worked with the venue to open up as many tickets as possible for Friday's show, but please note that inventory is extremely limited."

USA TODAY has reached out to Live Nation and Styles' representatives for comment.

Fans are expected to receive a "full refund" for the scrapped concert, according to Live Nation. Additionally, concertgoers set to attend Tuesday's show now have the option to purchase tickets for Styles' next concert on Friday at "an exclusive discount."

The world tour, in support of Styles' latest album "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," began on May 16 with a series of shows in Amsterdam, followed by a 12-show residency in June at London's Wembley Stadium. After his final São Paulo show on Friday, the One Direction alum is expected to head to Mexico City in early August and then Madison Square Garden in New York City for a 30-date run that kicks off Aug. 26.

The singer will wrap the tour Down Under later this year with shows in Melbourne and Sydney, concluding the global trek on Dec. 13.

In a review of Styles' tour kickoff, USA TODAY music critic Melissa Ruggieri praised the singer's showmanship, as well as the production's elaborate stage design.

"It wasn't difficult to get swept into Styles' glee as ringleader," Ruggieri wrote. "He sashayed with his ballroom-meets-Bee Gees dance moves, offered clasped hands in thanks toward the audience and, for his final victory lap, traversed every ramp during 'As It Was,' arms outstretched as if bursting through the finish line of one of his marathons."
