One Direction's Louis Tomlinson final member to fly solo

Of the five One Direction boys, Louis Tomlinson is the last one to prepare his own music career. Other members Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik have all gone their separate ways musically over the past year since the band's split in January.

The 24-year-old English star, who recently entered parenthood, has been working on new songs while living in Los Angeles. One source told The Sun newspaper, "Louis is a brilliant songwriter and had not initially planned his own solo career. But he’s been back in the studio and has been working on some really amazing music. He’s played some to the powers that be at syco, who are really excited.”

But what about One Direction? X Factor judge Louis Walsh confesses he thinks the hit band have split up for good. He feels the lads enjoy "'the hype' surrounding their expected reformation as they all embark on solo projects."
