Louis Tomlinson

Former One Direction band members Louis Tomlinson, 31, and Liam Payne, 29, have reunited at Tomlinson’s new documentary premiere in London. The singers did not pose together on the red carpet (Payne was snapped with new girlfriend 23-year-old Kate Cassidy) but the boys were seen catching up as they left Cineworld Leicester Square later that evening.

Premiering to the world on March 22, All Of Those Voices is a documentary which explores Tomlinson’s personal journey with the band; the rise, its peak, its natural ending, and his feelings along the way.

“I’ve suffered a bit of a dark time in my life,” Payne told reporters on the carpet. “And honestly, I wouldn’t be here without the boys… [The documentary] is going to be a nice trip down memory lane.”

In 2010, UK X Factor judge Simon Cowell assembled One Direction with five young, good-looking lads with amazing hair: Tomlinson, Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan. They would go on to become the biggest boy band in history.

Perhaps the most touching part of the documentary’s trailer is Tomlinson telling the audience he is “proud” of himself for achieving writing credits on a number of One Direction’s mega tracks including “History,” “Perfect,” “No Control” and “Night Changes.”

Despite his astronomical success, Tomlinson has had a hard life. In 2016, he lost his beloved mom Johannah Deakin to leukaemia. Three years later, his beautiful sister Felicite died of a cardiac arrest.

Just a week after that, Tomlinson released the track “Two Of Us” for his mom, a track which includes the line, “I’ll be living one life for the two of us.”

He sure is.
