Harry Styles is close to tears as his sister Gemma joins him on stage for an emotional tribute during his final gig of record-breaking Wembley residency

Harry Styles was joined by a surprise guest as he performed his final gig of his record-breaking 12 night Wembley Stadium residency on Saturday.

The singer's older sister Gemma, 35, surprised him on stage, with Harry, 32, looking close to tears as she made an emotional speech about her brother's achievements. 

Harry's band introduced his sister before Gemma nervously took to the mic and told the 80,000 fans present: 'This is not somewhere I ever wanted to be!' 

'That said, this is not a normal evening,' she continued. 'My little brother is about to finish a record-breaking 12-night run.'

'And I'm gonna keep this pretty short because I don't know how you do this quite frankly, I feel like I'm gonna...'

Gemma then turned to her brother, telling him: 'I don't think of you as this at all in day-to-day life. I think of you as a brother and an uncle and a best friend. And seeing the incredible community that has formed around you is just indescribable, really.'

'Thank you to everyone who has been here with you over the past 12 nights and the last 16 years.' 

Gemma then recalled the moment she dropped her 16-year-old brother at his first audition for The X Factor at Wembley Arena, where One Direction were formed.

'I left you over the wall somewhere over there and awkwardly backed away and thought "are you going to be able to handle this small person?" And now we're here,' she pointed out as Harry wiped his face. 

'I'm so proud of you,' she said. 'And not just because of this. I'm proud of who you are, and who you allow other people to be, and the impact you've made on so many, not least on the ones who get to love you… what a life-long privilege that is. Thank you for being you,' she added.

'I love you so much, and yeah, please help me congratulate you on a historic 12 nights at Wembley.'

The siblings shared a long hug before Gemma left her brother to finish up his final gig.  

The night also included Harry's emotional tribute to One Direction  – with Liam Payne's parents watching proudly from the crowd.

The singer first found fame as a member of One Direction after the band was formed on The X Factor in 2010, where they finished in third place.

The group went on to become one of the biggest pop acts in history, selling more than 70 million records worldwide and embarking on sold-out stadium tours before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

Tragically, Liam died in October 2024 at the age of 31 after falling from the third-floor balcony of his room at the CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

During Harry's final Wembley show, fans were moved to spot Liam's parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, alongside his sister Ruth, and his young nephew in the audience.

As the concert drew to a close, the singer took a moment to thank the band that launched his career.

Speaking to the sold-out crowd, he said: 'I wouldn't be here tonight without four friends of mine. I want to thank Niall, Louis, Zayn, and my dear friend, Liam!' 

Harry has been celebrating the release of his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally, with a huge world tour.

His 12-night run in London made history as the longest-ever Wembley residency by a solo artist.

Throughout the entire residency, Harry was joined by country music legend Shania Twain, who served as the support act.

Fans were treated to a setlist packed with hits including Golden, Adore You and Music For A Sushi Restaurant, alongside new tracks such as Dance No More, Aperture and Are You Listening Yet?

The residency has been met with rave reviews from Harry's loyal fans and critics, with the Daily Mail's Adrian Thrills writing about the 'triumphant' first night.

'It was an emotional night, one that showed just how far Styles, Britain's only truly global pop sensation, has come since he sprang to prominence with boy-band One Direction in 2010,' Thrills declared in his four star review.

Harry announced a seven-city global residency, called Together, Together, at the start of the year.

He will be making 50 stops in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City - including 30 nights alone at Madison Square Garden - Melbourne and Sydney from May through December in 2026.
