"Louis Tomlinson, 33, knows the challenges of his profession all too well, but he also knows what it's like to reach stardom as a 19-year-old. For just over five years, he was part of One Direction, one of the most successful boy bands in history (they sold 70 million records during their time together), but he soon had to learn to fly solo. It's a challenge that has taken him almost a decade to adjust to, a period marked by doubts, losses, and self-discovery."
"Now, he says, he is living one of the happiest moments of his life. On January 23, he will release his third studio album, How Did I Get Here?, a clear statement of intent about what he wants his musical career to be. To promote this new chapter, the British singer embarked on a short tour of European countries, including Spain, where he reunited with his fans at an intimate event where they were able to hear the first five songs from the album."
"I've realized that these kinds of feelings are infectious, says Tomlinson. The more I'm enjoying it, the more the fans inevitably enjoy it. This whole record is a breath of fresh air, but it also has depth and emotion. Healing has been essential, particularly since he writes his own songs: If you're feeling down, you're going to write emotional songs; and if you're feeling good, you're going to write nice songs."
Louis Tomlinson rose to fame with One Direction, selling 70 million records, then transitioned to a solo career that required nearly a decade of adjustment. He endured profound personal losses, including his mother Johannah in 2016, his sister Felicite in 2019, and bandmate Liam Payne in 2024. Tomlinson now reports being in one of the happiest moments of his life and will release his third studio album, How Did I Get Here?, on January 23. He promoted the album on a short European tour, reconnecting with fans and emphasizing that healing has shaped the emotional tone of his songwriting.
