(VIDEO) Louis Tomlinson Fight At LAX Airport With Paparazzi! - March 2017
With 2016 single "Just Hold On," Louis Tomlinson established himself as the third member of boy band One Direction to launch a solo career. Even as the remaining four members move on and tease projects that may arrive in the coming months, the group still maintains that they are on hiatus and not officially broken up.
"No one knows the answer right now," Tomlinson tells Rolling Stone of how much longer the break will last. "Everyone"s just enjoying a schedule that"s not as relentless and exploring solo projects."
While tabloids have long reported on tension between 1D"s members, which was formed after the original five members delivered solo auditions for the x-factor, tomlinson says that they are still all friendly and close. Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and even former member Zayn Malik showed up to watch Tomlinson make his stage debut as a solo artist at The X-Factor in December, a performance that also happened to follow news of his mother"s death.
"I think that"s what it"s all about," he adds. "People love to write what they want to write but there"s no bitterness."
As for what"s to come now that his collaboration with Steve Aoki is out in the world, Tomlinson has not made any plans to release more solo music. His move to dance-pop was surprising for many given his penchant for folkier, rock-leaning tunes as one of the main songwriters for his boy band. "I wanted to do something that was different enough to One Direction, but not too far away that it"s going to alienate the One Direction fans," he explains.
Malik was the first member of One Direction to release solo music, having left the band in early 2015 following creative disputes and anxiety issues. He released his debut album Mind of Mine last year. Horan followed suit last fall with his folk-y, acoustic "This Town." Styles will appear in the Christopher Nolan film Dunkirk this summer, while Payne has not yet revealed his future plans, though he did announce a solo contract with Columbia.

When Louis Tomlinson blows out his birthday candles this year, can we make a wish?
After starting this year not really caring what the members of One Direction were up to on any substantial level, we"re ending 2015 feeling rather bummed that the pop heartthrobs are going their separate ways for an indefinite period of time.
Hiatus, they"re calling it. And while we cynically didn"t believe that for a second when they first announced their intention to take a break, what with the luck-of-the-draw way the insanely successful boy band started out in the first place, we"re now vehemently hoping that Louis, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan find their way back to each other sooner rather than later.

First of all, happy birthday to Louis today as he turns 24. The lad from Doncaster with the David Beckham voice and devil-may-care s**g is wrapping up one of his more life-changing years, to be followed by a most momentous 2016 as he becomes a first-time dad.
Barely more than a boy himself, Louis offered on Good Morning America this past summer that he was "buzzing" with excitement, but otherwise we"re guessing we won"t be hearing too much more from him about fatherhood until he"s actually walked a few miles in those shoesor, better yet, changed a few nappies.

But while One Direction"s break is perfectly timed for paternity leave, it also seems to be coming at a time when they"re gelling more than ever as a group.
Maybe it was how they calmly rode out Zayn Malik"s exit and it didn"t turn into the beginning of the end, plus they"ve handled what could have turned weird (what Twitter tried itshardest to turn weird) in rather classy fashion.
They"re also actually growing up, and now that they"re no longer a bunch of teenagers they can"t help but be appealing to scads more people.
Or maybe it"s because they knew a break was coming so they were extra relaxed and had a rejuvenated skip in their step (sort of like Jon Stewart"s new lease on B.S.-bashing after announcing he was leaving The Daily Show), but their appearances in the last half of 2015 were spot-on and more charming than ever.
Big props to James Corden for picking up the Zayn-less pieces right away, gathering the group for dodgeball, tattoo roulette and, most recently, a killer edition of Carpool Karaoke and a bonus holiday-themed ride-along as well.
We"re starting to suspect that these blokes actually really like each other...
That could be the magic of television coercing us into drinking the Kool-Aid, but more and more, 1D is growing on us.
Alas, now they"re going away.

Well, not away-away. Harry, Louis, Niall and Liam will still be hard-pressed to shake the paparazzi from their tails (in descending order of how they"re listed), what with Harry"s everything-about-him; Louis" baby on the way; Niall"s recent tendency to look cozy with Selena Gomez and Liam"s...well, look at him. Aren"tyou interested in what he"s up to?
But of course there"s a chance that the story of their life as a group is coming to an end.
All of them seem to be interested in pursuing music on their own, though they haven"t been too specific, coyly telling the media that they"re just really excited to see what they come up with on their ownin the studio and in life, considering they spent five very formative years commercially joined at the hip.

"The team knew they had to come up with a solution," an insider told E! News back in August. "Five years dealing with the kind of schedule they were on, there was a danger it was becoming too much."
"They really do get on well," a source also said at the time. "They genuinely care about one another. This has been a crazy ride for all of them and they went through it as a family. They are not done working together yet."
Well, consider us hopeful that the guys don"t enjoy their break too much.
"I think it"s going to be interesting for all of us," Louis mused on The Late Late Show. "It"s going to be interesting just to see what each of us do as individuals and, you know, throughout the break. I think it"s going to be cool."
Liam Payne is on an interview spree at the moment, having already chatted about Louis Tomlinson"s baby news and Zayn Malik leaving the band.
But this time he"s revealed just what he"s planning on doing with his time when One Direction take a break,and no we aren"t saying they"re splitting up...They just need some chill time, okay?!
Chatting to Adam Wilbourn on Free Radio, Liam tried to answer the impossible question of what"s next.
"Theres loads of things (I want to do). Ive been writing a lot on the road at the moment, not for me, just for other people. Ive been doing a lot of things, you know trying to get into the producing side of it which is pretty cool," he explained.
Adding: "You know, I think everyone needs a little bit of a break now, and a sit down and a stop, to kind of take in all the great things thatve happened."
All he really wants right now are is his home comforts and the sights of Wolverhampton.
He explained:"Everyones asking if Im gonna go away on holiday, but Ive been everywhere, so I kind of just wanna go home! I honestly do miss living in Wolverhampton. I actually wanna pop down to my old school for a little bit, and go and talk to the kids."
HE"S JUST SO KIND.

As for if Louis"s been asking any of his celeb pals with kids for advice?
"I dont know actually, I havent asked him. Obviously hes got a lot of good people around him who are helping him out and stuff. Even though its such a great thing, its a difficult thing to go through. Im sure hes gonna do great."
He continued: "Hes really happy and excited about it, hes embracing it, which is the best way to be. Maybe he might get one of those columns in the paper called Fatherhood, where he can just write things down about his day! It would be cool!"
We would read every single Fatherhood column ever.
