Harry at Madison Square Garden

MSG  21st June

 “Please feel free to be whoever it is you choose to be in this room tonight,” Harry Styles told the crowd at his sold-out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden Thursday night, as he strummed his guitar. The guy takes his own advice. He draped himself in the rainbow flag and the bi pride flag as he vamped through the One Direction classic “What Makes You Beautiful.” For his biggest solo hit, he offered a dedication: “This song is for anyone out there who needs it. This is ‘Sign of the Times.’ Happy Pride!” 

So much about Harry’s live mojo has changed since his boy-band days with One Direction, except the most important thing: the way he lights up a room of any size with his superhuman enthusiasm. A year into his solo rebirth, he’s earned his stripes as a master of every rock & roll move, wearing the tradition like it’s a coat he had tailored just for him. The whole night was an emotional onslaught. (Rolling Stone)
. He’s the ultimate fusion of Mick Jagger’s yin and Paul McCartney’s yang – that mix of the Stonesy flamboyant rogue and the Beatlesy romantic charmer – to the point where encountering them at peak strength in the same star can get bewildering. Even though we’ve had years to get used to this guy and really should be building up a tolerance by now, except he makes lightweights of us all. He was determined to make you feel uplifted, no matter how low you felt when you walked in. The hook in “Two Ghosts” – ”trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat” – describes a common ailment these days; his job is to jolt you into remembering. (Rolling Stone)

Ain’t nothin’ better

We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
They said “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holdin’ on
We’re still together still goin’ strong

Niall on The Late Late Show


James: You have some history with Trump. Didn't Trump once - is this true? Did he once kick One Direction out of a hotel in New York?

Zayn for GQ


It's no secret that Zayn didn't love One Direction's sound or his bandmates. "My vision didn't necessarily always go with what was going on within the band," he says. There was something so earnest, so wholesomely dweeby, about the whole thing. It wasn't cool, and Zayn didn't particularly enjoy being dragged around the world to look like an epic dork during the prime of his youth.
When he split off, in 2015, Zayn nally got to do all the things he hadn't been able to in One Direction: dye his hair, grow his beard, sing about sex. But he was also introduced to a fresh army of puppeteers trying to guide him, and he felt disoriented, adrift. The only way to ground himself was to resist the pull of anyone's expectations and answer only to Zayn. He'd spent ve years taking direction and had become allergic to it.
There are plenty of clichéd expressions about how toxic and stiing freedom can be, and Zayn experienced many of them when he went solo. "I didn't really, like, make any friends from the band. I just didn't do it. It's not something that I'm afraid to say. I denitely have issues trusting people," he says. When he was living in Los Angeles, aimless, he fell in with a crowd of industry people: "Producers, musicians, tailors, stylists, managers. Them kind of things," he says. "It got too crazy. I just got too much into the party scene. Just going out all the time. And I was too distracted." So he left L.A. permanently and moved to New York earlier this year as a way to bring himself back down to earth.


Harry in Toronto

Toronto    16th June

“I’m gonna tell you a couple things that I personally love about Canada! One, Poutine! Number two, maple syrup! Number three, Michael Buble! Number four, Jim Carey! Number five, those big moose things! Number six, Michael Buble riding on a moose thing! Number seven, Michael Buble riding a moose thing eating poutine! Number eight, Michael Buble covered in maple syrup riding a moose thing eating poutine to the sound of ‘Oh, Canada!’ What number are we at? Eight, we did eight. Number nine is you!”
