Representatives for Harry Styles have confirmed that his stepfather, Robin Twist, died this week following a battle with cancer. “The family asks for privacy at this time,” a rep said in a statement confirming the death to People. Twist married Styles’ mother, Anne Twist, in 2013. He even accompanied Harry and his family to the 2010 “X Factor” audition that eventually led to his placement in One Direction, sparking the singer’s music career. Anne shared a selfie with her husband earlier this month, thanking friends and fans for their anniversary wishes.
