Louis Tomlinson gave a special shout-out to his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan, who was in the audience to watch his performance in Paris. The crowd erupted as Louis confirmed Niall's presence at the Accor Arena, expressing that it 'meant a lot' to have him there.
Footage of the moment, widely shared on TikTok, shows Louis saying, 'I also wanna say I've got a mate in the house today, somewhere around there.' He continued, 'So, yeah, shout-out to you Niall. Appreciate you coming today man, that means a lot. Thank you very much.'
The concert comes just days after claims surfaced that Louis was allegedly punched by his other 1D bandmate, Zayn Malik, during filming for a Netflix documentary. The duo had reportedly signed a multimillion-dollar deal to travel across the U.S., where they would discuss their lives and reflect on memories from their boyband days.
However, sources claim the project has been shelved after Zayn allegedly struck Louis during filming, leaving the singer with a concussion and requiring medical attention. The pair have reportedly not spoken since the incident six months ago, and Louis appeared to confirm the rift by unfollowing Zayn on Instagram.
Zayn's Health Scare
Since the alleged altercation, Zayn has been seeking treatment from a cardiologist after suffering a mystery health scare, forcing him to cancel a string of promotional events for his new album, KONNAKOL. He wrote on Instagram, 'Heartbroken that I can't see you all this week, I wouldn't be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding,' while thanking hospital staff.
An insider has reported that Zayn is now seeking further medical attention from 'the No 1 cardiologist in the world.' The source told People.com that the singer had to cancel a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show this week as he continues his recovery.
