Los Angeles, CA - *EXCLUSIVE* - British crooner Harry Styles is pictured arriving for a workout after winning a grammy for album of the year. Harry Styles’ acceptance speech after he won the Grammy award for album of the year caused an uproar on social media Sunday night. “I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music. I don’t think any of us sit in the studio making decisions on what is going to get us one of these,” Styles said, referring to the award in his hands, which he won for the album “Harry’s House.” But it was the last sentence of his speech that riled up social media users, who took different interpretations of what he meant: “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice. Thank you very much,” Styles said, before handing the microphone off to his co-writers Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson.

This is so, so tragic. Harry Styles, 23, allegedly lost his stepdad Robin Twist on June 20. Radar.com reports that Robin passed away, though there is currently no cause of death. Robin got married to Harry’s mother Anne Cox in June 2013. They were so close that Harry gladly walked his mom down the aisle to her new love. According to a fan site, Robin was only 49 years old. Our hearts are breaking for the whole family!

Robin has been a huge supporter of Harry, his sister Gemma Styles, and all of the One Direction guys since becoming part of the family. He also gained a following of his own online for his fun and friendly nature, garnering over 220k Twitter followers. Less than a month before his death, Robin tagged along with Harry to the set of the Late, Late Show with James Corden. There, he seemed in good spirits with the late night host, even snapping a happy selfie together.

Of course, fans of both Harry and Robin immediately rushed to send their love to the grieving family. “I’m so sad for Anne, Harry and all who knew & loved Robin. I pray for patience for his family, RIP,” wrote one devastated fan. “Omg I just woke up and heard about robin wtf harry‘s family must be so heartbroken :(,” said another.

Another of the former One Direction band-mates suffered a tragedy recently. Louis Tomlinson lost his mother Johanna Deakin just six months earlier on Dec. 9. At the time, he had tons of support from his friends, and we’re sure they’ll do the same for Harry in this terrible time.
