Harry Styles’ MUM steps in as fan throws a can in his face on stage
Harry Styles has had a bad run of it lately in terms of on-stage injuries, but this latest one most definitely wasn't his fault.
The One Direction singer was hit in the face with a can while performing in Philadelphia, and his mum Anna Twist has had to speak out to stop a tirade of abuse from fans who want revenge.
1D fangirl Hanna Cooke flung the half-full drink can in Harry's direction while watching him perform, and since word got out that she was the culprit, she has faced a never-ending stream of cruel tweets and death threats.
Anna, known to fans as 'Mama Twist,' even posted her own angry tweet, before backtracking hours later.
"So dangerous… THINK!" she wrote, before adding, "No harm done … This time … Unless you're on a sports field is it acceptable to throw things at people?! I think not."

Clearly seeing the error of her ways last night, Anna took to Twitter again to try and put a stop to the tirade of abuse being directed at Hanna from fans.
"OK peeps!! Please do not turn to bullying @HannaCooke17 … that serves no purpose. Please just learn from the incident & be kind," she pleaded.

Hanna has since taken to Twitter herself to try and set the record straight, saying she only threw the can in the hopes Harry would look over and spot her. As you do.
"I guess me and my friend wanted to get recognised and the only thing I could think of was the Red Bull my friend held," she wrote. "I threw it on stage hoping it would hit the catwalk…I thought it was empty."
First he snots himself on stage, then he has a can thrown at him… we can understand why Harry might be looking forward to that "hiatus" next year…
