WATCH: Harry Styles falls off the stage in an EPIC tumble as One Direction kick off the North America leg of their tour in San Diego
They only kicked off the American leg of their On The Road Again tour on Thursday night.

Dragging his microphone across the performance space and throwing up some fist-pumps, the 21-year-old hearthrob proved his ability to multi-task isn't the greatest as he took a giant fall in front of the screaming crowd.

Oopsy! The 21-year-old hearthrob proved his ability to multi-task isn't the greatest as he took a giant fall in front of the screaming crowd
'Hands in the air,' the star shouted to the crowd during a performance of Through The Dark as they delighted the sold-out arena .
But just seconds later it was the Story Of My Life crooner who was in the air, much to the amusement of the crowd and his three bandmates Liam Payne, 21, Louis Tomlinson, 23, and Niall Horan, 21.
It certainly wasn't a clean fall either, as a small trip - which he attempted to even out with a Matrix style lean - eventually saw the long-haired heartthrob run head-first into the set.
