Harry Styles Marks End of MSG Residency With Note in Special Village Voice Issue

Harry Styles has marked the end of his 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden with a note published in a special issue of The Village Voice, according to Vogue. The residency closed on October 31 as part of his Together, Together tour. The Voice largely ceased print operations in 2017, which Vogue notes in describing the project.

In the note, addressed to "friends, strangers, citizens of New York," Styles writes that it has been "an honour to live and work in your city for the past three months." He says the audiences' "openness, the dancing, the sheer joy" will stay with him, and he calls the issue "a little piece" of the residency's story, "not the whole story, of course."

Vogue reports that the issue includes features on the opening acts, among them Tinashe, Jamie xx, Caroline Polachek, Lainey Wilson and Tears for Fears, as well as on his band and crew members at MSG. It also covers the tour's work with Planned Parenthood, Food Bank For NYC, the voting nonprofit HeadCount and the humanitarian organisation Choose Love.

The account here comes from Vogue's description of the issue and its quoted note, not from the issue itself. Because the feature is a tour-linked publication, its profiles of collaborators are best read as the tour's own framing of its community rather than independent reporting. Vogue describes it as a kind of time capsule of the run.
