Niall Horan of One Direction Injured at Amsterdam Concert, Asks Fans on Twitter Not to Throw Things Onstage

One Direction fans love their boy band so much they can't even keep their shoes to themselves, much to the detriment of the "You and I" group. Last night (June 25) at a concert in Amsterdam, 1D member Niall Horan was hit in the knee with a heavy object, adding pain to an old injury. Now, he's made a call on Twitter for fans to be careful at future gigs.

According to RTE 10, Horan was hit in the knee by an unidentified flying object, presumed to be a shoe, during a show at the Amsterdam Arena in the Netherlands. The shoe just so happened to hit Horan in the very knee that he had serious surgery on back in January and he was later seen limping off stage.

The incident inspired Horan to warn fans kindly not to throw things onstage at concerts, despite their excitement."Amsterdam thank you for a great couple of shows! Appreciate you coming," Horan wrote in a series of tweets. "Also guys! Can you limit what gets thrown on stage please! Coz something thrown at me tonight! Hit my knee! A lot of pain from it! Never wana sound like I'm complaining! But only having my operation 5 months ago, I still get a bit of pain and I'm very scared about it."


OMG please stop throwing things on stage bc it can harm all the Lads. If u are a good directioner please save them from things that can hurt them :) Thanks

This is the next WWA Tour of The Lads

1D Niall Horan's Croker surprise for ill fan ! AMAZING

Niall Horan made a sick girl’s dreams come true when he surprised her with a private audience before One Direction’s final Croke Park gig on Sunday.

Leah Hession, six, is the only girl in Ireland battling a rare form of kidney cancer and has reached an advanced stage of the disease.

Last Monday, the child finished radiotherapy for extreme pain which had prevented her from walking.

Leah’s parents Lorraine and Graham feared their daughter would never get to see the pop idols in Dublin but her treat was beyond their wildest dreams.

The girl’s magical night began after her mum asked kids’ cancer charity Aoibheann’s Pink Tie if they could help get Leah to the gig.

The charity booked a room for Leah and Lorraine at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, Co Meath, and arranged for gardai to give them an escort into Croke Park.

And Niall, 20, popped up to the stadium’s Presidential Suite and gave Leah a massive hug.

Still ecstatic at her home in Ballyglunin, Co Galway, she said: “He was awesome. I love him.”

Lorraine and Leah were brought through the VIP entrance to Croke Park and shown into a room for dignitaries. And minutes later they couldn’t believe their eyes when Gotta Be You singer Niall, from Co Westmeath, embraced the child.

Lorraine revealed: “Leah kept saying Mum it can’t get any better but it did thanks to the gardai and APT.

“I didn’t know about it. We were in the room a few minutes and then Niall walked in.

“He was on his own and didn’t have security or an entourage.

“He must have spent five minutes with us and he 100% made the effort with Leah.

“He was so kind and generous and hugged her and signed all of her memorabilia. Leah keeps asking was it a dream. This has given us precious memories that will be with us for ever.”

APT co-founder Mick Rochford said the 1D star was “thoughtful and an absolute gentleman”.

He added: “He has given Leah special memories that are deserving of a very special girl who has been through so much and is still smiling.

“Gardai played a pivotal role in helping us in Aoibheann’s Pink Tie make Leah’s dream come true.”

Lorraine also thanked the “amazing” officers, who gave Leah a medal for bravery, for going “above and beyond the call of duty”.

To show his support for the charity, Niall wore an APT wristband before he joined the rest of his band for their third sold-out Dublin concert.

1D’s Niall Horan raises over £300k with charity football game! so INSANE !

One Direction star Niall Horan has raised £300K for charity after organizing a star studded football match.

The 20-year-old put together the fixture – called the Niall Horan Charity Football Challenge – with the help of some of his celebrity friends.

'Team Niall' consisted of his One Direction bandmates, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, along with a host of other celebs, including Jack Whitehall and James Corden.

The Little Things singer's team pitted their skills against a squas created by Piers Morgan, who enlisted the help of some of his famous pals, with the likes of Keith Duffy, getting their kit on for the good cause.

Over 15,000 people turned out for the match yesterday – most of whom we think are likely to be directioners if the screams were anything to go by – which saw Team Piers come out on top.

Niall took to his Twitter today to thank fans for their support, and said after the game: “Although my team didn’t win, I still enjoyed every minute of this game.

“I would like to thank all the players who donated their time free of charge to support this event. I am looking forward to making this even bigger and better next year. I am delighted we have raised significant funds for Irish Autism Action which is based in my home town of Mullingar, UK based Heart and Minds Challenge and the Leicester Foxes Foundation.”

In other fundraising news, fellow Directioner Liam Payne managed to raise £17,129.46 for cancer charity Letsfcancer after auctioning off his OnePiece. Isn't that nice?

Well done boys, we're very proud of you!

Where We Are Tour JUne 2014, Check this out girls :)

ZOUIS issue of smoking joint make Louis' father cross over him. ! Hope this issue gone quickly :(

We've all been there. It's the most crushing thing a parent can say, isn't it? "We're not angry, we're just really disappointed." That's why we're feeling for

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson this morning after his dad came out and said he was frustrated with his son's apparent drug use, which was caught on film in a video that emerged this week.

Louis's dad Troy Austin, who is actually estranged from his son, told the Mirror that he is worried for the 22-year-old singer and believes the pressures of fame have affected him.

"I'm worried for him. I do believe that being that famous will be taking its toll on them. I think everyone is concerned it could lead to other things," he said.

"[Louis] said he would never get a tattoo because it was a scar and he would never smoke because it would damage his vocal cords. He's gone the opposite way and I hope it doesn't get worse. It seems the fame and money have changed him."

Ouch. In the video, Louis and his bandmate Zayn Malik can be seen in the back of a car lighting up what seems to be a joint and smoking it during the band's recent trip to Peru.

They're being given a police escort and one of the boys even jokes that a nearby officer can probably "smell an illegal substance" through the car window.

Louis's dad said the 1D boys have to grow up and realise their enormous fanbase will be watching their every move. 

"It's very childish. They need a serious talking to. I don't agree with it but I smoked it too when I was younger.

"But you should never brag about it. He's got to think of his fans," he added.

Last night the band performed at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland and all five were reportedly summoned to a crisis meeting beforehand, although none of them made any reference to the video during their gig.

The only official word we've heard from One Direction's management team so far is from their spokesperson, who said: "The matter is in the hands of our lawyers."

One Direction's Liam Payne breaks Twitter silence on THAT video showing Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson 'smoking joint'

After that video emerged ofOne Direction members Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking and talking about something that looked quite a lot like a joint, fellow band member Liam Payne took it upon himself to help clear the waters by taking to Twitter before the band’s show at Sunderland's Stadium of Light for the European leg of their tour.

Never directly addressing the situation, but saying that “weird s**t” was going on, he told his 16.8 million followers that everyone should “calm down and not do anything stupid”.

Although it was a little late for Zayn and Louis to not do anything stupid, the tweet seemed to be directed mostly at the fans who were ripping up their concert tickets or tweeting hashtags such as #Zouispasstheblunt in regards to the pair’s antics. 

Although tweeting a fan saying that he was talking about the trends, the tweet seemed to be directed more towards his band mates and the bad press they have received due to the video.



Taking up his role as ‘the sensible one’ once again, he told everyone to try keep the “PG rating”, which the boys are usually known for. 

1D’s squeaky-clean image has no doubt been tainted by the drug news, much to the disappointment of many parents and younger fans.The boys went on to perform a sold-out gig in the rain, showing that neither bad weather nor bad press can ruin their success for now.

Dubai ticket sales crush Justin bieber's

Nearly half of One Direction Dubai show sold

Fans queued up for over 12 hours at Mall of the Emirates to get their hands on 1D tickets as they went on sale

By Marwa Hamad, Staff Reporter
May 22, 2014

When you have upwards of 2,000 people queued up inside — and outside — of Virgin Megastore at Mall of Emirates to buy One Direction tickets, you expect pandemonium. Screaming, shoving and sobbing would be standard fare for the opening sale that began at 6am — but not for this polite lot.

Parents and fans stood in an orderly line that twisted around the length of the mall’s ground floor to buy tickets to the April 4, 2015 1D concert at Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens stadium. Despite cheering loudly when prompted to, the crowd was mostly quiet, content to chat among themselves and buzz in their spots.

But don’t mistake this for a lack of enthusiasm. The dedication was remarkable, as proven by the first two gals in line, 15-year-old Dari De Anda and Hannah Edmondson, who had been waiting for over 12 hours.

“We’ve been here since 4.30pm yesterday,” said De Anda.

“We just wanna make sure we get tickets,” added Edmondson, who was barefoot with a pillow in tow, all for a chance to see Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Liam Payne live.

De Anda’s mother, Karla, said being the parent of a Directioner — that is, a 1D fan — is sometimes ‘unreal’, and her father added that they occasionally need a break from it all. But both of them were all grins, more than happy to indulge their daughter with eight diamond tickets (Dh1,000 each) for her and her friends.

A few spots down the line were Zenaa Al Farouki and Widad Al Farouki, both 17, who had flown in with their mother from Saudi Arabia just to buy tickets; they planned to catch a flight back to KSA the next day. The girls went to London in August and camped out at Piccadilly Square for the premiere of 1D’s documentary, This Is Us, earning them a wave from their idols.

“We just want to actually see them live,” said Zenaa.

Natasha Virmani, 15, said she spent the night in the car park with family. After a brief snooze, she joined the queue at 3am.

“It was already almost full,” she added regretfully. “Zayn is my favourite. I love his voice and his looks.”

Further down the line, 23-year-old Samantha Lockie, a university graduate, hesitated to share her age, but insisted she was nothing but proud to be a fan of the boys since their 2010 X Factor days.

“I dragged my two friends here with me and they’re not even fans. They probably hate me,” she said. She planned to buy four platinum tickets, priced at Dh500 each. “I haven’t slept yet. We’ve been here since 4.30am. I kind of regret that — I wish we came earlier.”

15-year-old Alia Al Shamsi was there with her three friends, Jiya Narendra Chulani, 14, Victoria Duczek, 14, and Natalia Sloniec, 12. In their school uniforms, they shrieked, posed and jumped for the cameras that passed by, declaring their love for One Direction. Al Shamsi was the quietest of them.

“It’s personal,” she said of why she loves the band, waving off her friends’ shouts about it having to do with good looks. She has a clever plan for if she meets her favourite, Tomlinson: “I’d get my Sharpie and write my Twitter name on his hand.”

Duczek, however, didn’t think she would get that far. “I would stop breathing!”

Though they were the majority, it wasn’t all young girls — or parents of young girls — in the crowd. The occasional boy was spotted, including Reza Alan, 16, who had his English GCSE final in two hours.

“I’m a Directioner,” he said, adding that he was sometimes compared to his favourite member, Malik. “It’s weird saying this, because I’m a boy, but I can relate to them.”

By 9am, the queue was short enough to be contained within the store. In Abu Dhabi and in Doha, Qatar, tickets were also being sold in person ahead of online sales, which opened at 10am. At the time of writing, Thomas Oveson, COO of concert promoters Done Events, told us almost half of the 33,000 capacity venue had already sold out.

“We’ve just gone beyond 15,000,” said Oveson in a phone call at 11.20am. “That’s roughly three times what we sold for Justin Bieber in one day. I would assume we’re gonna end up with about 20,000 tickets by the end of today.”

*Tickets to the Dubai concert will range between Dh250 and Dh1,000 available through virginmegastore.me.

Finally they will come to My country " Indonesia ".. yippie !

My Dreams will come true, Thanks Guys for choosing Indonesia as your Next Tour in 2015. We are dying to see you guys soon. Hope we can have a meet and greet with 5 of you guys. See you soon on March, 25th 2015 @GBK, Jakarta, IND

Children's hospital draws up contingency plans for 1D concerts

I got this from Irish Independent, lets check this out. Horrible but that's the fact !


THE country's main children's hospital is increasing security in preparation for this weekend's string of sold-out One Direction concerts

Dublin's Temple Street University Hospital is recruiting extra security staff and is due to hold a meeting about implementing an emergency contingency plan to cope in the event of a large volume of A&E traffic.

The extra precautions are being taken to ensure that the hospital, which is a short distance from the Croke Park concert venue, is prepared for all situations, given the large number of children and teenagers due to flock to the 82,000-seat stadium for the Dublin leg of the One Direction 'Where We Are' tour.

"Security is being increased and other back-up plans are still in progress," said a source. "The precautions are being taken because of the large number of young people who will be in the area and to ensure that if there are extra numbers at the hospital, they will be dealt with safely and quickly."

Promoters MCD have already warned that strict restrictions will be in place at Croke Park and children under the age of 14 who have purchased pitch tickets will be turned away from the gig.

Heartthrob

Concert chiefs have also insisted that they will be ensuring that any child under the age of 16 is accompanied by a parent or guardian at the concerts.

Around 240,000 One Direction fans will descend upon GAA headquarters to see the 'What Makes You Beautiful' hitmakers, including Mullingar heartthrob Niall Horan, at their Friday, Saturday and Sunday night concerts this weekend.

They also became the first ever band to have their first three albums debut at No.1 in the US Billboard Chart, hitting the top spot in a further 30 countries worldwide. The band – Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis and Zayn – have just completed the first leg of their massive, sell-out Where We Are Tour stadium tour, which saw the boys visit South America for the very first time to an overwhelming reception.

Hot News Ever ! Liam Payne is single now !

Based on information from US Magazine, Liam Payne has splits from his Girlfriend Sophia Smith.
Actually The couple dated for eight months, and first met while attending St. Peter's Collegiate School in Wolverhampton, England. But now they are splits because of some reasons here :


"He's devastated that it's over but it was for the best," a source tells Us of the 20-year-old. "They were spending too much time apart and it's only going to get worse this year -- the band going on a super long tour, her getting busier with university."

"Too much long distance," the source adds. "It was draining for the both of them and led to a lot of arguments. Liam was the one who chose to end it." (Payne is currently on tour with his bandmates for their Where We Are tour, which kicked off last month.)

"There was no way to maintain the relationship," a second source adds. "He had to do it as they would never see each other and he didn't think it was fair to her."

Payne, for his part, has been vocal about his heartbreak, posting cryptic messages via Twitter on May 2. "Can't be without you," he wrote. "Worse thing I ever did was let you go." He added: "No all I got left is the thought of you."

Is there anyone who has not seen the concert in Peru last night..?

Harry Styles's Profile

Name : Harry Styles

Birth of date : February 1, 1994 (age 20)

Place of birth :Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England,United Kingdom

Education : Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School

Full Name : Harry Edward Styles

Zodiac Sign : Aquarius

Quotes

“I wake up so many mornings feeling so lucky and so grateful to be where we are.”—Harry Styles


Harry Styles was born in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England, on February 1, 1994. He first sang in a band in a school competition, and in 2010 he performed on the television show The X Factor, where the judges combined him with four other young male singers to form One Direction. Despite finishing third in the contest, One Direction received a recording contract and became a best-selling boy band.


His parents, Des and Anne, divorced when he was 7 years old. He and his sister Gemma were brought up by their mother in the town of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire. His mother was later remarried, to Robin Twist.

Styles attended Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School, where he and three of his friends formed a band called White Eskimo. Styles was White Eskimo's lead singer, and the band was popular enough to win a band competition at their school. After school and on weekends, Styles worked at the W. Mandeville bakery in Holmes Chapel.

In 2010, when he was 16 years old, Harry competed in the seventh season of the television show The X Factor, singing Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" as his audition song and Oasis' "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" in a later round. He was cut before the finals, but in a surprise move, judges Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell put him together with fellow competitors Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik to form a new group act for the remainder of the competition.

Performing as One Direction (a name reportedly suggested by Styles), the five boys became one of the most popular contenders in the X Factor finals that season. Although they finished the competition in third place, they were immediately signed to Cowell's Syco music label.

Styles is the youngest member of One Direction, and his curly hair, wide smile and sweet-yet-naughty demeanor have made him a fan favorite. He sang some of the lead vocals on the band's first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," which was released in September 2011 in the United Kingdom. One Direction's debut album, Up All Night, was a best seller in both the United Kingdom and the United States the following year. In another highlight of 2012, Styles and the rest of One Direction performed at the Olympics closing ceremony in London.

Styles is known as "the flirt" of One Direction, and his romantic relationships have been followed obsessively by the press and his fans. In 2011, he began dating television presenter Caroline Flack, whom he met when he was competing on The X Factor and she was hosting its companion show, The Xtra Factor. The difference in their ages—Styles was 17 at the time, and Flack was 32—was the subject of much discussion among Styles' fan base.

Since his breakup with Flack in January 2012, Styles has been romantically linked with photographer Sarah-Louise Colivet, models Emma Ostilly and Cara Delevingne, and singers Lily Halpern and Rita Ora. His most-publicized relationship of 2012 was a two-month liaison with pop star Taylor Swift. The two were frequently photographed together, and Swift reportedly referred to Styles in song lyrics and performances after they stopped dating.

Niall Horran's profile

Name : Niall Horan

Birth of date : September 13, 1993 (age 20)

Place of birth : Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland

Education : St. Kenny National School, Coláist

Full Name : Niall James Horan

Zodiac sign : Virgo

Quotes
“Every now and then you have like a realization moment where you get goosebumps and think, 'I am literally the luckiest person in the world.'”—Niall Horan

Niall Horan was born on September 13, 1993, in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. During his school years, he showed talent for singing and performing. At the age of 16, he auditioned for the television show The X Factor and was accepted into the competition. Although he did not make the final rounds as a solo vocalist, he joined forces with four other contestants to form the successful boy band.

His parents, Bobby and Maura Horan, divorced when he was a child. He and his older brother, Greg, moved back and forth between their parents' two households before settling in with their father.

Niall grew up in Mullingar and attended St. Kenny National School, where he performed in school plays and sang in the school choir. He attended secondary school at Coláiste Mhuire (Mary's College), also in Mullingar. As a teenager he performed at the Mullingar Arts Centre (in a fund-raiser for the local football team, the Shamrocks) and at The Academy in Dublin.

In 2010, when he was 16 years old, Horan auditioned for the television talent competition The X Factor. He moved up through several rounds of preliminary auditions culminating in a performance for the program's judges, including Simon Cowell and guest judge Katy Perry, in Dublin. He sang a version of Ne-Yo's "So Sick" and was accepted into the official competition. Although he was eliminated as a solo contestant after the semifinals, the judges combined Horan with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson to form the boy band called One Direction.

Although One Direction did not win the final round of The X Factor, the band immediately received a contract with Cowell's label Syco and recorded its first album, Up All Night, which became a best seller in the United Kingdom in 2011 and the United States in 2012.

Horan is the only One Direction member born outside England, and he is the second youngest member of the band. He claims to be inspired by classic swing music and by the vocalist Michael Bublé. He is known for his blonde good looks and boy-next-door appeal, and he has been romantically linked with the actresses Demi Lovato and Freya Mavor, despite denying both rumors.

Louis Tomlinson's profile

Name : Louis Tomlinson

Birth of date : December 24, 1991 (age 22)

Place of birth : Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England,United Kingdom

Education : The Hayfield School, Hall Cross Academy

Full name : Louis William Tomlinson

Zodiac Sign : Capricorn

“I do enjoy having a laugh and joke, but when it comes to the band, it's really important to me for us to be portrayed exactly as we want to be portrayed as a band.”—Louis Tomlinson

Louis Tomlinson was born on December 24, 1991, in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. As a child and teen he acted and sang on television and in school productions. He auditioned successfully for television talent competition The X Factor in 2010, and the show’s judges teamed him with four other contestants to make a boy band. Performing as One Direction, this group became a chart-topping pop sensation.


His parents, Johannah and Troy Austin, divorced when he was young, and he took his stepfather Mark Tomlinson's last name as his own. Tomlinson has five younger stepsisters: Georgia, Charlotte, Félicité and twins Daisy and Phoebe.

When Tomlinson's baby twin sisters had minor roles on the television comedy Fat Friends, Louis went along and was also cast as an extra. Tomlinson, then 11 years old, then took acting lessons and received small parts on the television dramas If I Had You and Waterloo Road.

In Doncaster, Tomlinson attended The Hayfield School; when he failed to graduate, he completed his studies at Hall Cross Academy. At Hall Cross he performed in several school productions, including the musical Grease. Outside school, he worked part-time jobs in retail and at the Doncaster Rovers Football Club.

Tomlinson auditioned for the television talent competition The X Factor in 2009, but was turned down. However, when he returned to try out for the show's seventh season in 2010, his rendition of the song "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's brought him successfully into the competition. He advanced several rounds, singing hits like Adele's "Make You Feel My Love." He was eliminated before the final round, but the judges united him with his fellow competitors Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik to form a group act. This new band, called One Direction, finished the competition in third place and received a contract with Simon Cowell's music label.

Tomlinson is the oldest member of One Direction, and he has a reputation for being the prankster of the group. In 2011, he began dating college student Eleanor Calder, whom he met through his bandmate Harry Styles.
