Insiders confirmed to The Sun that the former One Direction star is preparing to appear on stage for the encore of Stop Dragging My Heart Around and Landslide – with the set list showing Harry’s chosen “H” next to the two songs.
The Adore You singer Harry, 30, has performed both tracks with Stevie before.
An insider told The Sun: “Everyone backstage from runners to security is talking about Harry coming out for the encore.
“Earlier this evening entrances were blocked while a special VIP were driven on site – and Harry is now in Stevie’s backstage area in a mask because of the Covid protocols.

“Harry’s band are all here backstage too – which is adding to the furore.
“He has been in London for the past couple of days and he and Stevie are so close, it’s only natural he’d want to come out on stage with her.
“The excitement at BST has reached fever pitch.”
Harry first performed the track Landslide with Stevie as part of his Fine Line album launch concert in LA in 2020.
The pair took to the stage for the One Night Only at The Forum concert to an incredible response from the crowd.
However, it was years earlier in 2017 during one of Harry’s LA gigs when the surprise pairing actually took to the stage for the very first time together.
Most famously, the unlikely duo belted out Stop Dragging My Heart Around at the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction in one of the ceremony’s most surprising moments to date.
Stevie found herself inducted into the prestigious music list the same year and chose the former One Direction star to help her celebrate live on stage.
At the time, Harry presented her with the incredible honour as he remarked that she was “the magical gypsy Godmother who occupies the in-between”.
Harry and Stevie are understood to have first met backstage at a Fleetwood Mac concert in 2015.
He brought her a birthday cake by way of introducing himself to her.
