After several months of cryptic messages on social media, Harry Styles has finally made the announcement that his millions of fans have been hoping for – a new album is coming soon.

Yes, on March 6, Harry’s fourth studio album will drop – and it has an intriguing title: Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Currently we only have limited details, including the cover, which shows Harry standing in an open field under a disco ball, while wearing a pair of swimming goggles, and that the album will have 12 tracks. As yet, none of the music has surfaced, bar a brief voice note sent to fans.

But with the news catapulting Harry back to the top of pop gossip, how much do you know about him? Here are some facts you might not know.

Harry had a few pre-fame jobs

While Harry found fame with One Direction at a young age, he still nonetheless had a few jobs before that. While he was a teenager and still at school, to earn some extra money he delivered newspapers. He also had a part-time job at a local stables, mucking out horses, as well as a working at a bakery in his home town of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire.

His love of music developed early

Harry’s love of music and singing developed when he was a child. He was gifted a karaoke machine by his grandfather, and he would sing covers using it, including Elvis Presley songs.

While he was at secondary school, Harry was the lead singer in a band called White Eskimo, which got as far as winning a local battle of the bands competition.

He has more than 40 tattoos

Harry has become well known for his range of tattoos, and he now has 40 all over his body, having got the first at just 18 years of age.

Probably the most famous of his tattoos is a butterfly on his torso. Harry’s tattooist Liam Sparkes said the design of it is based on an old French prison tattoo, which was inspired by the 1973 film Papillon. He also has a tattoo of a padlock, which fellow singer Ed Sheeran did.

He has four nipples

Yes, really. In addition to the usual two, Harry has confirmed in an interview in 2017 he has two other, smaller ones further down his chest. This is down to a condition called polythelia.

Harry is a really good distance runner

Being a pop star means you have to keep fit, and Harry likes to run to keep in shape. But he isn’t an ordinary runner – he likes to run marathons (that’s 26 miles, for the uninitiated). Indeed, in 2025, Harry completed two of the major world marathons, in Tokyo and Berlin – in the latter he went round the course in a time of 2 hours, 59 minutes, which for an amateur athlete is a highly respectable time. Harry competed in the marathon under a pseudonym – Sted Sarandos.

He once lived in his producer’s attic

These days, Harry lives in London. He did once live above Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, but returned to the UK when he became disillusioned with the city.

But earlier in his career, while looking for his own place to live, Harry stayed in the attic of his friend, producer Ben Winston, and his wife, in Hampsted Heath for 20 months. The CBS sitcom, Happy Together, a show that ran for one season, was inspired by Harry’s time living with Ben – the plot revolved around a couple whose live is changed when a pop star moves in with them. Harry had an executive producer credit on the show.
