Here are some quotes from other interviews.

Liam on Niall's solo performance:

 I saw him play Slow Hands, he proper owned the stage. It was a huge stage to play. He’s doin’ it, it was amazing to watch, and I was singing along on the side lines. [He was] fantastic.”
Liam on Harry's outfits:
Harry steps out there with the fashion these days, which is beautiful. I love that he wears what he wants, that’s the best thing. I’m starting to venture out a little myself now. Watching him, actually, has inspired me.”
Liam on who he would like to work with:
“I think that Nicki Minaj was the main one on my list. I have a song that I think would really really suit her. So I’m reaching out to Nicki to see what she says. It’s pretty much up in the air at the moment.

Louis and Eleanor in Doncaster


Some time ago, Louis was filming his next music video in Doncaster. His PR team is hopeless and they are doing nothing to promote the track and Louis himself.
Louis, his girlfriend Eleanor and her dog Bruce were papped on 20th May for The Sun.


“Louis wanted to shoot the video in his hometown as it means a lot to him and he has a lot of memories there. “He went around various locations and regularly changed outfits. The video will show Louis walking through the places he holds dear. It’s going to be a really emotional video.

Niall for Billboard


“Playing for, like, 500 people. What more do you want?” says Horan. “I’ve had some good moments with screaming ­teenagers, but I like when the room is completely quiet. It’s a ­different kind of respect. People are actually listening.”


“Every now and then you’re like, ‘Fookin’ hell, where is everyone?’ ” he says. “You’re sitting in an airport lounge, they call you for a plane, and you don’t stand up initially because you’re waiting on ­everyone else, you know? ‘Oh, Louis’ll be back from the toilet in a minute.” 


“I told my ­managers from the start: When One Direction comes knocking, fook what I’m doing. I don’t give a shit if I sold out arenas or won Grammys. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for that.


All his self-discovery aside, Horan remains close with his bandmates. “I see Louis and [his son] little Freddie all the time. He lives around the corner from me [in Los Angeles],” he says. He picked up gifts for Payne’s month-old boy that he hasn’t been able to present yet, because their ­schedules haven’t aligned. He planned to see Styles when the lanky star was in town for a ­weeklong residency on The Late Late Show With James Corden and genuinely gushes about his April episode of Saturday Night Live: “I loved his brilliant impression of Mick Jagger” in the Family Feud sketch, he says. As for his musical performances, he adds, “I really enjoyed them. He’s smashin’ it.”


Horan even shrugs off Malik’s post-1D kvetching: “Oh, pfft. I know what Zayn’s like – outspoken, and fair play to him.” He offers the same civility to Simon Cowell, who ­publicly attacked Horan’s loyalty for ­choosing Capitol over his Syco label. (1D formed on The X Factor.) “We’ll always have mutual respect. When we get back to the band, he’ll be at the forefront again,” says Horan. And he’s certain they’ll be back: “When it will be, I don’t know. I ­prefer not to do it after I’m 40. I’d prefer the next few years.”



Niall is currently promoting new single "Slow Hands". The track was critically acclaimed upon release and immediately hit No.1 in 44 countries and Top 5 in 66 countries on iTunes.
Niall will perform at Capital FM's Summertime Ball in the UK.

Mexico


Harry played a gig in Mexico. In the wake of the terror attack in Manchester, they decided to perform just a few songs. Harry chose the quieter tracks from his album.


He also gave up his bold stage outfits and appeared on stage in his casual clothes instead,


He addressed the tragic events:

“Thank you so much for being here tonight. I know a lot of you have flown a long way. I really appreciate you being here. I wanted to celebrate with you guys. I have played some of my favorite shows in Mexico. It felt right to come celebrate with you. Tonight, it doesn’t feel like a night to celebrate. Last night, there was a tragedy in my home town of Manchester. I am left with a hole in my heart. I went to my first show in the arena, and I’ve had some of my best experiences in my life in Manchester. We have a choice every single day that we wake up of what you can put into the world, and I ask you to please choose love every single day. I promise that we will back very soon to Mexico… We will be back to do a full show. But, tonight, if it’s okay with you, we’re gonna play a small acoustic set. I hope you understand, and I hope you will join me in a moment of silence for all the victims and their families. Thank you for understanding. I love you very much.

Harry Styles & Stevie Nicks at the Troubadour

It must have been a very special night for Harry Styles. His ultimate dream has just come true! At the legendary Troubadour night club in West Hollywood, he surprised the crowd by bringing out on stage Stevie Nicks, his beloved artist. Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, the Queen. It's like getting a blessing from the Pope himself! :)
Lots of celebrities gathered for the gig, including the Azoffs, Ben Winston, James Corden, and last but not least, Christopher Nolan.


Stevie Nicks and Harry sang "Two Ghosts" together:


Harry about performing with Stevie: "I am losing my shit... in a good way."
Then they performed "Leather and Lace":


Stevie Nicks explains the meaning of “Leather and Lace” and what the song is about:
“I worked very hard trying to explain what it was like to be in love with someone in the same business, and how to approach dealing with each other. It’s probably the hardest thing in the world to do because it falls out of your hands and into the hands of the world, which tends to want you to not be able to handle it”

“Stevie wants to point out that love is strong enough to endure. The angry words they say to each other can’t shatter it.”


And they sang "Landslide":





Harry got emotional:

Why is the Troubadour such a special venue?
The Troubadour, a place named by the Rolling Stones to be one of the best rock ‘n roll clubs, where Elton John made his US debut, where Neil Diamond recorded “Gold,” where Bob Dylan gave his first folk-rock performance, where Led Zeppelin and The Eagles held jam sessions, the last place where Janis Joplin partied, where Charles Bukowski met his wife, where Guns ‘n Roses were signed and Johnny Cash played one of his last shows, named a must-play by Billboard, and now, where Harry Styles performed a secret show and dueted with Stevie Nicks and changed the music industry forever

Rolling Stone in a review of One Direction concert some time ago:
Harry and Louis are the Stevie and Lindsey of the mermaid-tattoo-era stadium-rock eye-contact game.”
What a night, Harry!
