"Harry Styles Channels Bowie's Berlin Muse as He Crafts New Music in the German Capital"

# Harry Styles Spotted in Berlin: Working on New Music in Bowie's Footsteps

In a surprising move that has fans buzzing, British pop superstar Harry Styles has reportedly relocated to Berlin, Germany, following in the creative footsteps of music legend David Bowie. According to recent sightings and reports, the 31-year-old "As It Was" singer has purchased an apartment in the German capital and has been spotted multiple times in the Berlin-Mitte area[1].

Styles, who has largely remained out of the public eye throughout 2025, was most recently seen on a coffee run in Berlin on May 2nd, where he took time to chat with fans outside a local café[3]. These Berlin sightings come after he notably skipped the 2025 Met Gala held in New York City, continuing his pattern of avoiding high-profile events this year[2].

Sources close to the singer revealed to The Sun newspaper that Styles is currently working on a new album in Berlin, collaborating with producer Kid Harpoon, the mastermind behind his massively successful 2022 album "Harry's House"[1]. The choice of Berlin as a creative base appears to be deliberate, with insiders suggesting Styles is drawing inspiration from David Bowie, who lived in Berlin's Schöneberg neighborhood from 1976 to 1978 – a period that profoundly influenced Bowie's music and personal development[1].

"Harry wanted to take a break after the mega-success of his last tour and the release of Harry's House," an insider explained. "Now he's working hard on his next album – and like Bowie once did, Berlin seems to inspire him. Harry loves the mysterious. Just like Bowie used to."[1]

Styles has maintained his characteristic privacy regarding his personal life and creative projects. His representative recently shut down rumors about a potential Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, stating: "To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere."[2] This commitment to privacy aligns with statements he made in a 2022 Rolling Stone interview, where he emphasized the benefits of keeping his personal life separate from his public persona[2].

Despite maintaining a low profile professionally, Styles has still made headlines for other accomplishments, such as his impressive performance in the Tokyo marathon earlier this year, where he maintained a 7:47 pace[2].

Fans have reported positive encounters with the singer in Berlin, describing him as friendly and generous – some even claim he paid for taxis for strangers[1]. These accounts reinforce Styles' reputation for kindness, which he has cultivated throughout his career with his "Treat People With Kindness" slogan that appears on his merchandise and as a song title on his 2019 album[5].

As Styles continues his creative journey in Berlin, fans eagerly await news about his upcoming music. The city that once inspired Bowie's iconic song "Heroes" now serves as the backdrop for the next chapter in Harry Styles' musical evolution, promising fresh inspiration and perhaps a new direction for the beloved artist.
