Harry Styles criticised New York’s coffee prices and tipping prompts during a Halloween performance, saying a cappuccino should not cost $10 and objecting to suggested tips of 22% or 24%. His remarks drew cheers from the audience but prompted criticism from some New Yorkers, who said his wealth made the complaints seem out of touch.

Tickets for his Madison Square Garden run started at $349, and the 30-show engagement reportedly grossed an estimated $200 million.
