NIALL HORAN:
SOLO SUPERSTAR?

All eyes have been on Harry Styles as the next One Direction member to launch a solo career, but Niall Horan looks set to release his own music first, if a report in notoriously unreliable British tabloid The Sun is to be believed.

It’s understood that Horan is still managed by Richard Griffiths and Harry Magee’s Modest!, and Simon Cowell’s SYCO is said to currently be in negotiations with the young Irish singer. The label have neither confirmed nor denied the rumours. A “hit single” is said to be coming next year, reports the paper.

Louis Tomlinson is said to be launching his own record label and pursuing a career as a TV presenter after signing with the James Grant Group for management and Liam Payne is taking a break. According to a few reports, Styles is, as previously reported, currently in a tussle between Universal and Sony.
