    Jul 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Louis Tomlinson has parted ways with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco.
    The 28-year-old singer took to Twitter on Saturday (11Jul20) to reveal the split, which makes him the fifth and final former One Direction star to depart their former “The X Factor U.K.” mentor’s company.
    “Hope everyone is doing ok! Just wanted to let you know that Syco Music and I have agreed to part ways,” Louis tweeted. “I’m really excited for the future and to be back in the studio writing the next album. Can’t wait to finally see you all on tour!! Stay safe and see you soon, Louis x.”
    Louis and One Direction first signed with Syco after finishing in third place on the 2010 season of the TV talent contest and released five hit albums under the banner.
    When the “Midnight Memories” hitmakers went on hiatus back in 2015, however, Louis was the only member to stick with Syco while Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan all signed with different labels.
    Louis released his debut album, “Walls”, through Syco earlier this year, peaking at number four in the U.K. and landing in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S.

    Louis Tomlinson Delays April and May Tour Dates Over Coronavirus Pandemic

    Though left ‘gutted’ by the decision to reschedule his planned concerts, the One Direction member insists that ‘the health and safety of all of my fans and tour crew needs to come first’.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Louis Tomlinson has postponed two legs of his ongoing world tour due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    The One Direction alumni was due to perform in Dubai, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan later this month, before heading to South and Central America in May.
    However, on Thursday (April 02) he announced that all his shows until June have been postponed, including concerts in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Mexico. Gigs in Russia and Ukraine that were the last remaining in a truncated European leg have also been pulled.
    “Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all of my tour dates for April & May 2020 are being rescheduled,” he wrote on Twitter and Instagram. “I’m really gutted but of course the health and safety of all of my fans and tour crew needs to come first. I’ll be announcing the new dates very soon. Stay safe, Louis x.”

    The “Steal My Girl” hitmaker’s tour was his first as a solo artist, but was abruptly halted due to the escalating health crisis caused by the virus, Covid-19, after two shows in Spain. He subsequently rescheduled a string of European dates as the disease began to spread.
    Coronavirus-permitting, Louis tour is now scheduled to restart in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 9 June.

    Louis Tomlinson Uses Songwriting to Turn Family Tragedies Into 'Something Good'

    WENN/Mario Mitsis

    During an appearance on ‘Today’, the One Direction member admits to needing ‘a good 18 months’ to work out exactly what his sound was when he work on his debut solo album ‘Walls’.
    Feb 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Louis Tomlinson channelled the heartache of his family tragedies into the songwriting process for his debut solo album “Walls” to turn the negative experiences into “something good”.
    The One Direction star was left devastated in March, 2019 when his 18-year-old sister, Felicite, died from an accidental drug overdose, just over two years after losing their mother, Johannah Deakin, to leukaemia in December, 2016.
    Tomlinson, who had already paid tribute to his mum on the touching single “Two of Us” last year, has since assured fans he is in a “good place” emotionally, and part of his healing process involved using his creativity as a form of therapy.
    “I think what’s amazing about songwriting is that sometimes you can take a negative and spin it into a positive, and all of a sudden, you’ve got something good from it,” he shared on U.S. breakfast show “Today”.

    Tomlinson is the last member of One Direction to drop a solo album following the boy band’s hiatus in early 2016, but the singer admits he needed to take his time to find his own sound.
    “It took me a second to get it right, really,” he said. “I think I had to develop for a good 18 months really, and tread water and work out exactly what my sound was, but I feel like I’ve landed there now, and I’m really happy.”
    “Walls” was released on Friday (January 31), and Tomlinson is overwhelmed by the huge wave of support he’s already received for the album.
    “I’m blown away,” he gushed. “It’s just another one of those examples where the fanbase show just how strong they are and how loyal and passionate (they are). It’s been an emotional 12 hours for me, it’s been a long time coming.”
