liampayne: It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that we have no other choice but to postpone my upcoming tour of South America. Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover. I was beyond excited to come play for you guys. To all of you who have bought tickets: I’m so sorry. We’re working to re-schedule the tour as soon as we possibly can, but for now we will be refunding the tickets - so please look out for updates from your point of purchase. Thanks as always for the love and support, and look forward to seeing you soon.

"The emotional stability that I have has cost me a lot of work"
The singer Liam Payne comes to Peru for the first time as a soloist after the separation of One Direction. In an interview with El Comercio, the British artist spoke about his solo career, his identity as an artist after being part of a boy band and more.
“I remember when I was first in Peru, I liked the food, but what always surprises me is its culture and its history. Something that stuck in my head was seeing a sunrise with peacocks and the energy of Machu Picchu entering my body”, says Payne in an interview with El Comercio.
Since your debut, was it difficult to keep current?
It's hard to stay in this music industry, even more so with social media putting pressure on you every minute of the day, and you need to create and create all the time. In my case, I do it when I feel good, but it never ceases to amaze me that the new generations always demand new content and songs that maintain my style.
2. 9 years ago you visited Peru when you were part of One Direction. At that time, were you already beginning to form your own style?
I always had fun with the boys. I didn't really think about it much when I started because I didn't know myself that well, but now I know who I am. Well… I'm still on that journey. The only thing I know is that [Peru] is the best place to return to the music scene again, but this time with better things.
3. How do you find the balance between self-discovery and exposure to fame?
Control is the key to finding the balance between both fields, especially with fame. The emotional stability that I have has cost me a lot of work. It was very difficult for me to find that stability after being left alone in my music career.
4. After One Direction?
Yes, for me it has been a great challenge to find a new sound to accompany my voice. It had to be at the level or better than the early boyband sounds, but I think I finally managed to create something unique and different.
5. Will we be able to appreciate that new sound in some new production?
I have a new album that I may release in October, in which I am inspired by moments in my life such as relationships, love and emotional processes to be better. Although as a composer and musician, I will always have a constant search for my sound and identity.
6. International media point out that Louis, Niall and you are the ones who get together the most. Will they participate in any collaboration?
I would say no, although I am really proud of my boys, but not at the moment.
7. And for your presentation in Lima, will they all be songs from your new productions?
I hope that my audience is ready for the concert that I will give, because I will put the best of me and my repertoire of songs, and maybe a couple of One Direction songs.
İkizim, diğer yarım, güzel yüzlüm iyi doğdun. Bugün belki de çok kişiden doğum günü mesajı alacaksın, ancak şu an okuduğun en farklısı çünkü tümüyle sevgiyle yazılmış bir mesaj. İyi ki varsın…
Evet burdan itibaren saçmalamaya başlıyorum hazır mısın? Tonton bir nine olduğunda bahçendeki sandalyene oturup eski günlerine daldığında hatırlamak istediğin kadar güzel günler seninle olsun ikizimm. Geçen gün rüyanda gördüğün gibi birçok an yaşamamız dileğiyle... Seni çok seviyorum ikizimm. Doğum günün kutlu olsunn. Kaç oldun lenn? lkdfjg
Had a big sleep last night. Woke up and took it slow, couldn't quite bring myself to go to gym or lift weights, which I think was for the best because this eve I feel my right shoulder burning again - think I've strained it previously doing some home/work labour... I did some life admin today including an 1.5 hour trip for eye health check up. Had a hot bath and went out for dinner with family friends. Had a nice time. I carry so much tension in my body, I felt that tonight. I am going to have to go for a massage again at some point.
