Niall posted a meme declaring that he doesn't give instagram the right to use his pictures to make fun of it; everyone rushed to let him know it wouldn't actually protect him legally. Niall, a man with probably a million dollars worth of legal staff whose life has been filled with (real and actually binding) contracts since he was a teenager, who presumably has a pretty good grasp on that concept, metaphorically banged his head against the wall in despair. Tom Holland meanwhile was like oh shit wow okay thanks Niall and reposted it from him, lol. A fan squee-ed about running into Niall and posted a pic of a guy with golf bag from behind and said he'd hugged her and she'd said how much she loved him... let's hope it really was all made up and not some weirdo taking advantage cause Niall chimed in quickly to say, "that's not even me!" Don't you know he's always watching, what did you think was gonna happen? Also, again, not very interesting: make your fake sightings more interesting challenge! If it doesn't involve anyone being sold to the band, I don't wanna hear it! Anyway speaking of golf bags, Niall's autographed one that was the prize of a giveaway has been gaveaway, and Niall made a video announcing and congratulating the winner ("there can be only one!")
Everyone's excited about Harry's RS cover and posting about it, including Anne (aww), and a travel writer who tweeted about getting drunk with Harry in Bangkok in 2015 after the 1D show there. He says Harry had fallen out with Zayn, was upset about it, and the band broke up four days later. Obviously the band breaking up wasn't technically what happened a few days later, but whatever; what's of interest here is the report, if this is accurate, that Harry and Zayn had fought just before Zayn's departure. The show in Bangkok was four days before Zayn's last concert with the band.
The gucci fragrance campaign marches on, now with the spots focused on the other, non-Harry, models being released, with little background Harry glimpses to be seen. And Harris Reed posted a behind the scenes photo of themself with Harry and Jeff. "2 gucci models and Harry!" comments Jeff yes yes very funny Mr Potatohead now shush and get out of my cute picture: me as Harris holding a knife to their own throat and staring dead eyed into the camera. Mr Potatohead also followed the editor of Another Man.
The presenter of the Madrid festival posts about about Louis' upcoming performance ("everything is going great and it will be a great show!") presumably in response to rumors that something was amiss which sprang from some pretty flimsy hearsay yesterday, quickly spreading and sparking panic that he wasn't really going to appear. According to this guy, all is well, and he would know. So unless we actually see reason to worry, not just vague rumors, let's be excited- just think, they're probably well into rehearsals! Of songs we've never heard Louis perform! Possibly never heard at all! Less than one more month!
There was a brief flurry of interest in Zayn's website which has a tour tab and a big 'coming soon' splashed across it (and by 'interest' I definitely don't mean 'I nearly had a heart attack don't fucking do this to me holy shit') but no; it's been like that the whole time, for years. SIGH.
Guitar player Chris Leonard posted a couple of pics of Harry, and Brian Friedman posted the second half of the video of OT5 singing Viva la Vida in a gym on their very first day together at TXF and it's somehow even more tear-jerking and amazing then the first half! How can they be so awkward but still sound so beautiful?! Magic from literally day one. Louis and Harry harmonizing is out of this actual world off the charts gorgeous, how the fuck.
