One Direction is an English-Irish pop band that was formed in 2010 by Simon Cowell on the British television show “The X Factor”. The group consists of members: Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.

After each member of One Direction individually auditioned for the 2010 series of the “The X Factor”, the boys were grouped together by talent scout Simon Cowell to form the band One Direction. While the band failed to win the British talent show, the boys won a lot of fans and did secure third place on the show. More impressive, though, is that the boys went on to win the hearts of teenage girls all over the world soon after the show’s end.

One Direction is responsible for causing a second-wave British pop invasion in the US after their hit singles “What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young" and "Story of My Life" all became top 10 singles on the US album charts. One Direction also holds the record for being the first band to have each of their first three albums, “Up All Night”, “Take Me Home” and “Midnight Memories”, debut at number one on the US Billboard chart.

One Direction’s sudden and meteoric rise to fame has been the result of an extensive social media following. The band is one of the first to have achieved such extensive fame solely through the use of online social media platforms. This, combined with each of the boy’s fun loving yet individualistic image has breathed new life into the boy band pop genre and built an empire worth over $50 million.

The band has toured extensively across the globe, with their songs’ energetic choruses and the boys’ cheeky stage presences constantly winning more and more devoted fans. With further material always in the works, it seems that One Direction’s star will continue to rise for some time to come.

Live reviews

One Direction's performance was spectacular. Even though One Direction was the main event, their opening performances were a great hit. Jamie Scott and 5 Seconds of Summer really know how to please a crowd, especially when they are all so good looking. The stage was massive and had many great features including moving parts, lights, confetti, and two huge HD screens so that every part of the audience is able to see the boys clearly at all times. One Direction came out with so much energy and enthusiasm, and because it was Niall's birthday, he came out with balloons attached to him while playing the guitar and singing.

The boys interacted with the fans and even asked if it was anyone's birthday. They sang like angels and even showed off some dance moves. The boys had a great set list for their concert, with most of their songs being the more recent ones. One Direction looked great, which isn't a surprise, because they always look fabulous. One Direction moved around the stage and had a nice graphic background at all times, they even had picture lyrics for a song. The boys introduced their band and each member played a little bit of a song, and the boys jumped in, as well as the audience and sang along.

Just when you thought that the best night of your life was over, One Direction came back out for their encore to sing some of their most popular songs. The encore was massive and left you amazed. There were fireworks here and there throughout the show, but the encore had a so many, which made for great pictures. Each of the boys said their goodbyes and told the audience to stay safe while going home.

One Direction has grown so much and have become such a big hit all around the globe. The boys are always thanking their fans for all their support and everything that they've done to help them with their career. One Direction will continue to become bigger, especially with their amazing songs and albums, performances, and their dedication to their fans.

Don't be surprised if you lose your voice the next day from screaming out their names and singing their songs. Be sure to take lots of pictures and videos, because you will want to relive your One Direction concert experience forever. One Direction really knows how to give an amazing performance. Look out for Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn, because they are taking the world by storm.

One Direction was truly one of the best concerts I've been to and I truly mean it. I say it a lot, but I mean it this time. When Zayn announced his departure, I was not sure if One Direction would sound the same without him, but they pulled it off! I saw them at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara and the crowd was pumped and ready for the show to begin.

I was standing in the merchandise line while their opening act Icona Pop came on and I watched them from the TV's spread throughout the stadium. Although I missed half of their set, the last few songs were catchy and got me dancing. They delivered a great set and it got me excited for One Direction. Between the two sets, there was about a 20 minute in between.

When it was One Direction's turn to come out on stage, there was a little video that played before the boys came out themselves. Then, smoke comes out from the stage and the boys come out with fireworks coming out from the stage. The arena literally erupts with screaming and they begin their set with their song "Clouds". They had 25 songs in their whole setlist and they were all completely energetic throughout the whole concert. The fans had a project where we held up papers during You and I (it was supposed to be during Fireproof but they didn't have that song on their setlist) that says "Nobody saves me baby the way you do" with a picture of one of the boys with angel wings. My mom and aunt enjoyed the whole concert by the look of it and so were other parents/adults. There were people of all ages at the concert and it seemed that everyone enjoyed it.

One Direction's encore consisted of "You and I", "Act My Age", "Little White Lies" and their last song "Best Song Ever". I was so sad that the concert actually ended because it felt so surreal.

I would recommend going to a One Direction, regardless if you are a die hard fan or not because I am sure you will have a great time. Their singing was great, they kept me and my family entertained, and overall, they're angels. I will never forget this concert and I hope the boys continue to make people this happy.

One Direction took me to a different world last night! Their huge stage, fun props and great personalities made for an unforgettable night!

Their opening act, 5 Seconds of Summer, were perfect for getting the crowd pumped and ready! Their rock inspired performance was a great way to start the night, it made you want to sing at the top of your lungs and dance till you couldn't dance any longer. After 5 SOS had finished rocking the stage, we jammed out to great music. Even the intermission was a blast and the crowd danced and sang along to the fun, upbeat music!

Up next was the anticipated performance from the boys of 1D! You could feel the energy in the roar of the crowd and couldn't help but join and scream like a little girl! When the boys came on, it was like nothing I've ever experienced, the crowd went wild and you could feel the energy and excitement through your whole body! Even the stadium shook in excitement with us. They came out with a bang, singing a song from their new album, "Midnight Memories". The upbeat, rock felt song was a perfect intoduction to a spectacular show!

I was completely captivated through out the entire performance! There was not a single dull moment. The boys did an excellent job with transitioning from song to song and keeping the crowd pumped. Not only did they keep the crowd engaged in the show but they made it personal by interacting with the crowd by making jokes and talking to us!

I would recomend everyone to go and see One Direction! Fan or not you will enjoy the high energy performance and the fun stage and props! So if you're on the fence about going, go! You won't regret it!

One direction. They were excellent. Not only them but even the opening act. I haven't been to a stadium concert since green day 2010. One direction was very personal to the crowd "SHOUT OUT TO WILL FOR BEING A GOOD BROTHER!" I remember Harry styles saying. Then he sang Brianna happy birthday. She cried so hard.

I will say a downer is being in the upper stands for seating in the Cardinals arena. It's understandable they can't just come out and sing to our faces but it's unfortunate they don't try. Lol. The fact they really are appreciative of the fans and of the support is what really brings them down to earth. Some might think "no they're be too thankful it's annoying they're doing it for cheers and whatever!" No. They are really thankful. How often do you hear of an X Factor group who didn't even win be known across the globe? At least I don't hear it too often.

These boys whether the know it or not are really good. Good at heart and good at what they do. If I could meet them it would be an honor. I wouldn't cry and scream like most. But I'd take it to heart to know that I met LEGITABLY AWESOME people.

Even if they break up as a singing group they'll be legends. They really rocked it last night and same with 5SOS. I don't even know all their names (EXCELT LUKE! I like luke:) ) but I know their music and it rocks hard. They sound so good live. They make the perfect team, 1D and 5SOS. It was a moment to live for. My first 1D concert and my sister's first concert concert. She's only twelve and she's been dying to see one direction. So thank you ALL for your existence.

OMG I had the best time at the One Direction concert!!! It was like all my dreams were coming true!!! My experience before the concert started was crazy!!! So I went with my best friend to the concert and we spend like 10 min trying to find out seats because this time we were in the 100's and not the 200's so when we asked the usher where are seats were he said row five, so my friend thought he meant five rows from the top!!! So probably ten minutes before Icona Pop preformed, the usher came to us with two other girls and told us we were in the wrong seats, so we got nervous because we were like "shit we have to move back" and we already thought that we were so close!!! So the usher asked for our tickets and after he read them, he's like "Your seats are down there in row five"!!!! After that me and my friend flipped out and I almost fainted because I love them so much and it was a dream come true to go to this concert!!! My family doesn't have much money so when my friend found out that they were going on tour again, she bought me the tickets for my birthday!!!! So I wouldn't of been there if it wasn't for her!!! Then we made a promise to each other that for the next concert we were going to do whatever it takes to get tickets to the meet and greet and front row tickets!!! So we are going to be holding some fundraiser to help pay for the tickets because I would do anything for a chance to meet Louis Tomlinson!!!! But thank you One Direction for changing my life around!!! I definitely wouldn't be in this place in my life right now if it wasn't for you guys!!! Luv ya!!!

So this was my fourth time seeing One Direction live and oh it was beautiful. I feel like every time I see them live they get better and better. My seats were right next to the runway and sound booth so I had a perfect view of the whole stage. Since it was outside the acoustics were perfect and you can hear everything even though there were 90,000 something girls screaming their heads off.

Every time the boys played a song you can just feel the floor shake and the bass just vibrate through your body. Surprisingly the boys were very interactive with the audience even though their were so many girls in the crowd freaking out for their attention, me being one of them.Zayn waved at me, then Harry and Liam basically hip thrusted in my direction.

These boys really know how to work the stage they kept running up and down and just were idiots and on top of that their voices were on point. They sound way better live then they do on their own CD. It was honestly the best show I've ever seen a band give.

On top of their amazing voices and hip thrusting they had the coolest graphics and stage design I've ever seen. The stage just looks like a big playground basically. I'm so happy I got to see them again and have such amazing seats because it was one of their best shows. They all had smile on their faces, especially Niall since it was his birthday, you can just tell these boys love what they do.

I can't wait till next year because I'm defiantly am going again. These boys don't disappoint!

When I heard One Direction's new album Four in November 2014, I knew it would be an amazing album to hear live. I asked for tickets for Christmas and I got them! I was told my seats were amazing but i never saw them until the day of the show. They were the closest I've ever been to my favorite celebrity.

When we got there (my concert was at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) there were a lot of people but we still stood in line to get shirts and stuff. When we were finally down to our field seating to watch the opening act I had a heart attack. We were so close to the stage! We were maybe twenty feet away and I was on the end seat. It made for some great pictures!

The opening act was Icona Pop. I only knew two of the songs but I still enjoyed it and the dancers were fantastic. During the opening act, we all went to the bathroom and made new friends with the people around us.

Finally the concert started. I'd never been more excited in my life. I told myself I wouldn't cry but the second I heard Harry Styles busting out his first note in clouds it was like Niagara Falls. The entire rest of the show was amazing even without Zayn. There were fireworks and lasers and all that jazz. I made eye contact with Louis and Harry a few times and Liam waved to me. When Harry threw his water bottle, we all got splashed. This goes down as the best night of my life so far.

When I first knew One Direction coming to Singapore for tour, I was super excited for it, but then, for poly students, that week is a exam week, so unfortunately I couldn't buy the ticket. It was damn sad, I even search for the seats and prices. Just one week before the concert, I received an email from spots hub merchandise manager, Erny, that she is giving away 7 pair of free pair One Direction, On The Road Again Tour ticket, as I volunteer for sea games merchandise. I was lucky that I was able to get the free pair of One Direction ticket by replying the Machandise Manger's email ASAP after I received. Though the seat was right at the back($88 seat), being able to be there was already fortunate enough. Though couldn't see them clearly, as we were far back behind from stage, being able to see them from the big screen and listen to their beautiful voice was my biggest joy. Thank you One Direction for coming to Singapore, thank you sports hub for the tickets, I will never regret going to their concert!!! I wish they will be able to come Singapore again, and I will definitely buy the hot seat. :)

Can I just say OH MY FUXKING GOD! It was probably the best night of my life. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much since zayn wasn't there. But I was so wrong! They started the show off with Clouds and when they entered there were fireworks! I was just like. Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis obviously looked bomb af. I really couldn't believe they were right there in front of me. They played some of my favourite songs! Kiss you, Midnight Memories, Little Black Dress, Little White Lies, Through The Dark, Girl Almighty, Steal My Girl, You and I, Act My Age, No Control and ended with Best Song Ever. Along with the songs, they didn't leave any attempt behind of making us laugh and enjoy ourselves. Niall made a new rap about Vancity Chick, Van VanCity Chick hehe. Also Harry made us moan like ughh. OHHHHH YEAHHH And also I can't forget about a sign that said "NIALL HAS MORE FANS THAN NAUGHTY BOY HAS FANS" And Liam read it and said that it made his night. We heard Niall's Classic laugh after reading that sign. All in all it was the best day of my life and I hope they'll come back soon. I love them so much

My concert in Baltimore was totally awesome! I first got my merch, which was a white t-shirt with the dates on the back, and the program. I next waited for the gates to open, and I think I saw their cars. Someone waved, and their were microphones. I got in and walked up to my section(539). I then got some food and got to my seats. I went with my Aunt, by the way. We ate while waiting, and they played commercials and music videos. Icona Pop came on, and they were really good. We waited some more, and 1D finally came on. My seats were in the stands in front of the stage, so I got a really good view. Niall called us sexy, and a fan baked Harry cookies. They were gone by the end of the show. I sang along to every song, and screamed my heart out. We even made Liam feel better, as he was a bit ill. Liam and Louis had a water fight, the whole show was amazing. It was a bit hectic getting out though, but I was home by 2:00 AM. It was a great show. It was my 2nd concert, the first being TMH in Hershey. I will remember it for years to come!

The Secrets Of One Direction’s Wildly Successful ‘Where We Are’ Tour

By Naomi Pike

The 2014 Where We Are tour remains One Direction’s greatest triumph. Celebrating the boys’ Midnight Memories album, which became the biggest-selling record of 2013 despite only being released in November of that year, the tour started in Bogotá, Colombia, in April, and concluded six months later in Miami, Florida. More than 3 million fans saw their favourite band live , and it reportedly raked in close to $300 million.

By Kara Nesvig

With a setlist that incorporated new hits like “Story Of My Life” and “Best Song Ever”, as well as fan favourites like “Little Things”, the tour was deliberately created as a visual feast. The stadium-only locations presented the design team with a challenge: how to ensure the energy of Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn’s famously animated performances was not lost in the vast arenas.

Stufish CEO and set designer Ray Winkler was tasked with pulling it off. “I remember the guys having a lot of energy, and being very excited to perform to their fans,” he told Miss Vogue over email. “We had been working very closely with their creative director, Lee Lodge, over the years, so it was great to hook up with him again to design their Where We Are tour in 2014.”

When it came to moodboarding with the band and their team, Winkler said the priority was ensuring that every fan in those gargantuan stadiums felt like Louis, Harry, Liam, Zayn and Niall were singing only to them. “[We] made sure that the stage was pushed deep into the audience and the side video screens were rotated back, so that those who sat in the wings – traditionally not very good seats – could still see their favourite band and be part of the experience,” Winkler explained. “We made sure that no matter where you sat, you could always see them perform on stage.”

The set designer says every member of the band took a keen interest in the process. “They were all equally engaged and interested in the creation of this tour — after all, it was going to be the five of them that needed to make the set come alive, so they could deliver the most memorable experience for their fans. Their passion and ambition to deliver the best show possible was undeniable.” Winkler added: “All the members of One Direction were incredibly interested, and very excited about the fresh new creative approach that Lee brought to the table.”

The boys’ close involvement contributed to the fast-paced, high-energy planning phase ahead of the tour. “Ideas flew thick and fast, so our role was to understand the creative ambition and translate it into a viable touring proposition, while at the same time preserving the energy and intent of the original idea,” he said. “Stufish played an integral part in translating this vision into a vibrant and impactful design that reflected the band’s aspirations and ambitions of being the world’s greatest boy band.” Job done then.

The result was a bold, bright, electrifying production, picked out in a colour palette that reflected the energy of the band. Pyrotechnics were employed for additional drama, with a catwalk-style promenade jutting into the crowd for an intimate touch.

Of course, a key part of the production’s success was the excitement of the fans, who purchased their tickets for the sell-out tour just shy of a year in advance. “The energy that One Direction managed to generate from their fans in the stadium really inspired us to create an experience that their fans would never forget, and to push the boundaries of stage design for a pop concert,” Winkler says.

“The set was quite complex, with multiple entrances and exits connecting to multiple ramps and stairs. You can imagine some of the comedy of trying to choreograph the five band members on a stage terrain that was anything other than flat,” Winkler recalled. “The opportunity to get lost made for some funny moments of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Six years on, Ray clearly still has fond memories of his days working with One Direction boys. “My favourite memory of the tour was being surrounded by so much talent, dedicated to delivering the best show ever. One Direction was such an exciting band to work with, and it was a great privilege to be part of their journey and see them grow creatively.”

In early 2010, teenagers Liam Payne , Harry Styles , Niall Horan , Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik auditioned as solo performers for the seventh season of British reality/talent show, The X Factor (UK) . For Liam Payne , it was his second audition process. Payne had first auditioned in 2008, but was eliminated during the judge's houses portion, due to his age and inexperience. For Louis Tomlinson , it was his third audition process and his first to qualify past the initial producer's auditions, which took place in April 2010. Each soloist succeeded through to the bootcamp stage, but all were eliminated at its conclusion. Simon Cowell and three other judges decided the groups were not evenly split that year, and decided to call back ten eliminated solo contestants. These contestants were placed into two groups, allowing them all to continue competing. In August 2010, all five members of One Direction spent two weeks living at Harry's father's bungalow in Cheshire, England [1] . One Direction were the favorite act to win throughout the 2010 season of X Factor, generating massive unprecedented fan and media hype. Ultimately, they finished in third place behind runner up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Simon Cowell signed One Direction to his record label, Syco Music , on December 13th, 2010.

Zayn Malik's Departure

On 25 March 2015, a statement posted on One Direction's official Facebook page confirmed that Zayn Malik had officially and permanently exited the band [2] . His sudden departure made worldwide headlines, as One Direction were in the process of completing their fourth world tour at the time. Malik had previously been signed off from the tour a week before, but had been expected to return after a short trip back to his hometown in London. It was speculated at the time Malik was signed off due to relationship troubles with then-fiancée Perrie Edwards . Malik was photographed holding hands with and embracing another woman days before he was signed off, and angrily addressed claims of infidelity on Twitter.

Zayn would later reveal a combination of anxiety, exhaustion and introversion as primary reasons for his exit. He also revealed the band's pop-rock sound was never his preferred taste in music. Zayn released his debut single on January 29, 2016, and his debut album, Mind of Mine , on March 25, 2016. Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis continued One Direction as a four piece. The band's relationship with Zayn was initially strained, with Louis and Zayn clashing on Twitter in April 2015 and Harry making several underhanded comments suggesting continued tension. In 2017, Zayn claimed he and Harry rarely spoke during their time as bandmates. Louis would eventually make up with Zayn in early 2017, partially to fulfill his mother's dying wish for them to repair their friendship. Liam has said he and Zayn keep in contact.

Band Hiatus

One Direction have been on hiatus since 13 December 2015, when they last performed as a group on The X Factor (UK) 's 2015 grand final episode.

On 23 August 2015, UK tabloid publication The Sun reported One Direction would be taking a break in 2016, but used the tagline " This Is The End ", which worldwide media outlets then used to report the band was splitting up [3] . On August 25, Niall confirmed on Twitter that the band would take a break from touring, but said they had no plans to split up [4] . Louis also tweeted saying "we're not going anywhere" [5] . The hiatus is the band's first, and only, break from touring and collaborating together since 2010.

All four members defined the hiatus as a "well-deserved" break [6] they will eventually return from as a group. Niall stated, "It seems like no matter how many times we say that we are not breaking up, the more people are convinced we are breaking up, so I have given up trying to explain it. It will be good to be able to get home a bit more, because that really is the only downside of the gig. [7] " All four members continue to acknowledge the anniversary of the band's formation on July 23 each year. An end date for the hiatus will not be confirmed until each member is ready to return to the group [8] .

In the September 2016 issue of AnOther Man Magazine , Harry stated "I would never say we'll never do anything again, but it's good for us to be exploring different things. Maybe at some point everyone will want to do something again but it's better if it happens naturally, like, "Hey we all really want to do this again". If that were to happen, it'd be amazing. I would never rule that out. It's the most important, greatest thing that ever happened to me, being in that band. It completely changed my life". On September 29, 2016 Niall told Capital FM a reunion was inevitable, stating "For the foreseeable, we're doing our own thing. We still talk all the time. It could be one year, could be two, but it'll definitely happen there's no doubt about that [9] ." He elaborated further in a November interview, stating "We just felt like it was the right time. I can’t really put anything to it. It wasn’t something we delved into and thought ‘is this the right time to do this?’. We just thought ‘let’s take a break’ and we will get back into it in a couple of years or something. I am sure once everyone starts getting bored again, we will be like ‘Hey, are you ready?". [10]

In April 2017, Harry elaborated on One Direction's reason for their hiatus in a Rolling Stone interview, stating: "I didn't want to exhaust our fan base. If you're shortsighted, you can think, 'Let's just keep touring'. But we all thought too much of the group than to let that happen. You realize you're exhausted and you don't want to drain people's belief in you. I love the band, and would never rule out anything in the future. The band changed my life, gave me everything [11] ". Interviewer Cameron Crowe stated in a subsequent interview that Harry "defended the future of the band". Harry further elaborated on French TV show Quotidien, stating "It’s been a lot of fun. We were very lucky to get to do some amazing things at the moment in our lives. We’re in a time where everyone’s trying their own thing and having a good time. It’s been amazing to see everyone do so well. If I can do as well as the other boys, that’d be amazing [12] . As of 2020, they had 7 year-end singles solo and band on Billboard.

Solo Career Developments

Liam: In 2016, Liam signed with Capitol Records. A year later, Liam premiered his debut solo single, " Strip That Down ", co-written by Ed Sheeran and featuring American rapper Quavo. It became the highest selling single from a remaining One Direction member and was a worldwide top 10 hit. He spent most of 2017 conducting American promotional radio tours and performing at music festivals worldwide. Liam released four more singles; " Bedroom Floor " (co-written by US singer Charlie Puth), " For You " (a duet with UK singer Rita Ora, for the  Fifty Shades Darker  soundtrack), " Get Low " (a collaboration with German-Russian dance producer Zedd) and " Familiar " (a duet with Colombian singer J Balvin). Of the four, the most successful was "For You", peaking in the top 5 and 10 of many worldwide charts, and scoring both Payne and Ora their first #1 single in Germany. In late 2018, Liam delayed the release of his debut record, but released an EP titled First Time on 24 August 2018. He also featured on Jonas Blue's single "Polaroid" along with Lennon Stella. Liam released his debut solo album, LP1 , on 6 December 2019. The album received very poor reviews and was not a commercial success worldwide, peaking at #17 in the UK. One track titled "Both Ways" received online criticism for lyrics perceived to be fetishizing female bisexuality. The official singles for the album were "Strip That Down", "Get Low", "Bedroom Floor", "Familiar", "Stack It Up", "All I Want (For Christmas)" and "Live Forever". Despite the previous success of Strip That Down, the remaining singles only found mild success. Liam has redirected his talents to YouTube and Tik Tok as of 2020, but still occasionally releases singles. His most recent is "Sunshine" for the Disney film "Ron Gone Wrong", released in August 2021.

Harry: In 2016, Harry signed with Columbia Records . On 25 March 2017, a promotional advert aired on UK television, announcing Harry's debut single Sign Of The Times was premiering worldwide on April 7, 2017. The song was critically acclaimed and became a top 5 hit worldwide. During his promotional campaign, Harry covered Rolling Stone magazine, performed on Saturday Night Live and co-hosted The Late Late Show With James Corden for an entire week. He also staged spontaneous concerts in the UK and US, before conducting a small venue tour in September 2017, which was followed by a larger arena tour from March 2018. His self-titled album , Harry Styles , debuted at #1 in 20 countries, including the United States, making him only the second UK male artist, after former bandmate Zayn Malik, to debut atop the US album chart. In July 2017, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk , which featured Harry in his debut acting role, premiered worldwide to critical acclaim. Two more singles - Two Ghosts and Kiwi - were released from Harry's debut album, to mild success. To cap off 2017, Harry co-hosted a variety special with friend Nick Grimshaw on the BBC, and performed live at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai, China. Harry spent most of 2018 touring the world, and began performing two unreleased songs - "Anna" and "Medicine" during each concert. "Medicine" made worldwide headlines when fans and media began speculating the lyrics suggested bisexuality. Harry was chosen as the face of Gucci's 2018-2019 campaign and briefly served as an executive producer for short-lived American sitcom Happy Together, loosely based on his time living with Ben Winston . In May 2019, Harry served as a co-host for the Met Gala, alongside Lady Gaga, Alessandro Michele, Serena Williams and Anna Wintour. Harry released his second solo album, Fine Line , on 13 December 2019. The album spawned six singles - Lights Up, Adore You, Falling, Watermelon Sugar, Golden and Treat People With Kindness. Of the six, Adore You and Watermelon Sugar were worldwide top 5 hits, with the latter becoming Harry's first US #1 single and his first Grammy-winning song. Lights Up was a top 20 single worldwide and the music video (as well as Watermelon Sugar's) marked a more sexual image for Styles. The music video for Kindness featured actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Harry gave his most in-depth interview with Zane Lowe on November 23, 2019. The 45 minute interview saw him fondly remembering his One Direction days, reflecting on his recent break up and briefly addressing the loss of his stepfather. Harry's Love On Tour world tour was initially announced for 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour restarted in the United States in September 2021. Harry is to star in two 2022 films, Don't Worry Darling and My Policeman.

In November 2016, he released his first autobiography titled "Z". In December 2016, he surprise released "I Don't Wanna Live Forever", a duet with American singer Taylor Swift for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack. It became one of the highest selling songs of the year and was eventually nominated for a Grammy Award. In 2017, Zayn released "Still Got Time" with Canadian rapper PartyNextDoor, to moderate success. It was originally announced Zayn's second album would be released mid 2017, however this did not eventuate. Throughout 2017, Zayn made several successful fashion ventures, including a collaboration with Donatella Versace, a shoe collection with Giuseppe and several Vogue magazine covers. In September 2017, Zayn released "Dusk Till Dawn" a duet with Australian singer Sia for the The Mountain Between Us soundtrack. The song was a top 10 hit worldwide. Zayn began releasing numerous singles with minimal promotion, often just a music video, and uploading many song covers to his official Instagram page. From April 2018 onward, Zayn released the singles "Let Me", "Entertainer", "Sour Diesel" and "Too Much", a collaboration with American producer, Timbaland. Of these singles, only "Let Me" found moderate UK success. In December 2018, Zayn's second album "Icarus Falls" was released, but not widely promoted. Zayn alluded to problems with his record label. In May 2019, Zayn appeared on the soundtrack for the live action remake of Aladdin, singing "A Whole New World" with Zhavia Ward.

He collaborated with numerous artists such as R3HAB, Sabrina Claudio and Shaed. He welcomed his first child, Khai, with Hadid, in September 2020. Zayn released his third album "Nobody is Listening" in January 2021. In October 2021, Yolanda Hadid (Gigi's mother) claimed Zayn had struck her (Yolanda) in an argument and was considering pressing charges. Zayn strongly denied the claim.

Group: In 2016, One Direction won Best Live Act at the Silver Cleft Awards, Best International Artist at the 2016 ARIA Awards, were Forbes second place Top Earners 2016 and second highest paid musicians of the year, with over $110 million to their name, and were confirmed to be holding six 2016 Guinness World Records [13] . On 24 October 2016, a song titled " Something That Scares Me About Love ", co-written by Liam and Louis, was registered to ASCAP. All four members of One Direction were reunited on 10 December 2016, backstage at the 2016 X Factor (UK) grand finale, where Louis Tomlinson performed his debut solo release " Just Hold On ", a collaboration with DJ Steve Aoki . The reunion was a show of solidarity as Louis's mother, Johannah Deakin , had passed away after a battle with cancer just three days earlier. Zayn sent a message of support to Louis via Twitter. In 2017, One Direction's " History " music video won Best British Video at the 2017 BRIT Awards . When Liam's debut single debuted at #3 on the UK charts, One Direction became the second group in UK chart history from which all members made the top 10, after The Beatles. In August 2017, One Direction became the first band to have all current and former members achieve a US Top 40 solo hit [14] . They achieved this in 18 months. Previous record holders - The Beatles - achieved the same in 21. One Direction are now tied with The Eagles for most members achieving a solo Top 40 hit. When Liam's single reached #1 on US pop radio, One Direction became the only group to have three members achieve this, and the only group to have two members of the same group hold both the #1 and #2 spots, as Liam's single had dethroned Niall's single from number one. In 2018, Harry placed third on the Sunday Times Rich List 2018 (in the Under 30s category), followed by Niall at #4, and Liam and Louis tying for fifth [15] . Louis and Liam reunited for the Judges Houses portion of Louis's run as judge on The X Factor (UK) in October 2018, and again in September 2019, when both were headliners for the Coca Cola Music Experience festival in Madrid. In April 2020, Liam revealed the group had been in talks to commemorate their 10 year anniversary on July 23, 2020. The information made worldwide headlines and sparked fan frenzy. Niall confirmed he had recently spoken to Louis and Liam about the ten year anniversary, while Liam revealed Louis was playfully displeased with the info becoming public perhaps before it was supposed to and had threatened to egg Liam's house as a result. Niall made further comments suggesting there may not be a reunion as such, but they had simply discussed the anniversary. Harry commented in an interview that the anniversary would be an emotional day. Ultimately, all members, aside from Zayn, commemorated the anniversary with lengthy social media posts and Spotify hosted a special listening day.

The footage also showed the band visiting Christ The Redeemer in Rio De Janeiro on a day off. The film broke the record for the highest grossing event cinema production with a net total of $15 million.

Most musicians can’t wait to get out on the road and perform their songs for crowds of fans who know every word of their material. Touring is also where many artists make the bulk of their income, as streaming revenue doesn’t always add up the way it should. Zayn is different from almost every other star, as he’s waited a very, very long time before playing live.

Zayn has announced a new concert, which must be surprising to many of his die-hard fans. Eight years after breaking out from the group that made him a star and producing music on his own, he still has yet to perform live under his own name.

The former One Direction singer’s debut live performance is set to take place in London at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The show will be held on May 17.

Zayn announced the show on his Instagram. The slideshow he posted includes a poster for the event, as well as several snaps from what appear to be rehearsals.

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024.

Interest in the concert is sure to be incredibly high, but tickets aren’t easy to get. Fans will reportedly have to buy a copy of Zayn’s forthcoming album Room Under the Stairs via his website in order to even have the option of taking part in the show’s presale.

Zayn’s new album Room Under the Stairs is slated for release on May 17. The singer’s fourth project on his own follows 2021’s Nobody’s Listening . The set has been previewed by two singles, “What I Am” and “Alienated,” which have both largely flown under the radar in most countries.

While he did tour with One Direction, Zayn has shied away from playing live in his own career. He was supposed to perform for a crowd in 2016 when he dropped his debut smash “Pillowtalk” and the album it’s featured on, Mind of Mine , but he ended up canceling the entire event. At the time, he shared that the idea of touring gave him “the worst anxiety of my career.”

Tour guides wanted for Harry’s house - and other landmarks of One Direction star’s life

Harry Styles experts are wanted as tour guides in the musician’s home village to handle fans flocking to the area.

Thousands of fans have descended on Holmes Chapel in Cheshire to catch a glimpse of where the former One Direction star grew up.

Looking to take advantage of the tourism boom, local leaders are looking to recruit up to 16 guides to show fans, known as ‘Harries’, around the village.

The hot spots of the tour are expected to be Mandeville Bakery, where Styles, 30, worked as a teenager, and a Chinese restaurant he once dined at with Taylor Swift .

Applicants should have an interest in the village, its history and links to Styles, as well as excellent communication and storytelling skills, said Peter Whiers, the chairman of Holmes Chapel Partnership.

He added: “We aim to start official tours of Harry’s home village on Saturday mornings in June and weekdays in July, August and September, and will be recruiting Harry Styles fans aged 16 and over to act as local guides.”

The village has already produced its own map of the two-mile tour which the local railway station ticket officer gives away for free.

The route takes in Styles’s former home and school, Holmes Chapel Comprehensive, and ends at a railway viaduct where he had his first kiss.

Mr Whiers said the Harry Styles Walking Map had resulted in a big increase in visitors, and businesses seizing the opportunity to cater for them.

He added: “It has been an incredible year with over 5,000 visitors and four TV crews making the pilgrimage as the Harries continued to arrive in Holmes Chapel.

“Even the worst of the winter months has not stopped them from braving muddy banks and wet fields to pay homage at Harry’s wall at the viaduct.

“But we now think it is time for Holmes Chapel to increase what we can offer to the young visitors and ensure they return home with a memorable experience of Harry’s village.”

The brickwork at the base of the structure where the star is said to have enjoyed his first kiss is already covered with a mass of messages and the names of teenage followers.

The partnership is holding a half-day assessment session on April 20 to start the recruitment process.

Robinne Lee , the author of The Idea of You , regrets initially stating that the story was inspired by Harry Styles .

In a new interview, Lee explains why the fictional British boy band member, Hayes Campbell, was not just inspired by the former One Direction member after many have compared it to writing fan fiction.

Lee said that the fictional character, played by Nicholas Galitzine in the Prime Video film, is a combination of many real-life people.

“He’s very much like JFK Jr. when he was dating Daryl Hannah, and they were hanging out in the Hamptons — that was definitely the Hamptons Hayes,” she said. “And then there’s some Michael Hutchence sexiness when he was dating Helena Christensen. And I was obsessed with Duran Duran when I was young, so there’s a lot of Simon, and there’s a lot of John, and there’s a lot of actual Duran Duran Easter eggs throughout the entire book.”

Lee’s debut novel dropped in 2017 and was adapted by Michael Showalter and Jennifer Westfeldt for a film starring Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old woman who falls in love with a boy band member, played by Galitzine.

The author said that Styles resonated with people when she said he inspired the character as he was still popular at the time, adding, “”Some of the other guys are still in bands and alive and out there on tour, but they don’t get named ever. And that’s fine with me. You create your character and you make him what you want to make him. He feels very real to me, and I think Harry’s just what people gravitated to. But he’s not Harry in my head when I’m writing for him. He is not Harry and he’s not living Harry’s life. He’s very much his own person to me.”
