In contrast, Danish police responded to a gunshot on Sunday afternoon in the Field’s retail centre, which is located less than a mile from the arena and on the southern outskirts of the city.

In a tweet, Styles said he was “heartbroken” and “devastated for the victims”.

“I’m heartbroken along with the people of Copenhagen,” he said.

“I adore this city. The people are so warm and full of love.

“I’m devastated for the victims, their families, and everyone hurting.

“I’m sorry we couldn’t be together. Please look after each other. H.”

According to Danish police, three individuals were killed and three are in serious condition. A 22-year-old Danish guy was also seized nearby and has since been arrested.

The Danish Police ordered the cancellation of tonight’s Harry Styles event, according to a statement from music organiser Live Nation.

“We are all truly devastated by the events of today and our thoughts are with the victims and their families.

“We are looking into future possibilities for the show, and hope to be able to give ticket buyers direct information as soon as possible.”

When the event was cancelled and everyone were ordered to leave, large crowds had already formed inside the arena.

In the upcoming weeks, performances by groups like Pearl Jam and Queen + Adam Lambert are scheduled at the location.

The Danish royal house said after the shooting that it had postponed a reception with Crown Prince Frederik related to the Tour de France.

The celebration was scheduled to take place on the royal yacht, which is anchored in Sonderborg, where this year’s third leg of the race concluded.

Styles was scheduled to tour the globe with his Love On Tour concert in 2020, but the pandemic prevented that from happening.

The main track from Styles’ most recent album, Harry’s House, recently celebrated its tenth week at the top of the UK charts.
