Listen, I would love some commercial success on this record, don't get me wrong. Will it get played on radio? I have no idea. But if it doesn't it won't be the end... I love my tour bus, I love my fans, I love travelling the world.
Louis on FITF, success, radio and fans for BBC
There's a weight to that record emotionally, and I needed to go through that process, but it's not really how I carry myself as a person. In terms of the my professional life, outside of the band, there's been an element of me constantly picking myself up and going, 'No, let's go again, you can do this'. I've had to have faith in the future, be it personal or professional - and, actually, there's something really beautiful about that idea.

I won't say it was a daily struggle, but maybe a weekly struggle," he says of that period. Obviously my experience in One Direction is the pinnacle. We got played on radio all the time but my last album didn't. Not really. To be fair, there wasn't really a song that would fit that well on radio. But what I find interesting is that I'm lucky enough to have the ability to tour globally, but I might not get the support I need on radio. That feels like a slight contradiction to me.
Louis on not getting much radio play, especially with his initial singles and Walls, and yet playing a World Tour for BBC
Just to clarify on that, I never mind getting asked about One Direction, I loved my time in that band.
Louis to BBC
Eventually, you lose the feeling of home. [sleeping in the bus with his new band feels better] That stays the same every day. I'm not one of those people who demands a master bedroom at the back of the bus, as if I'm going to climb into my double bed and say goodnight to the band as they crawl into tiny bunks. No. My bunk is like all of the others. And it's the best night's sleep you can get. Once you've shut that curtain and all the lights are off, it's pitch black and the noise of the engine just lulls you to sleep. It's dead nice, man.
Louis on choosing tour bus versus hotel for BBC
The ex-One Direction star has a new album, but his solo career hasn't quite gone the way he planned.
For some pop stars, tour burnout is an increasing problem, with Justin Bieber, Sam Fender and Shawn Mendes cancelling concerts for the sake of their mental and physical health. Despite a major tour this year, former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has avoided the curse.
