Louis Tomlinson had a great friend in his corner during a recent tour stop in Paris: Niall Horan.
Fans attending Tomlinson's How Did We Get Here? tour at Accor Arena on Tuesday (April 21) got to see a mini One Direction reunion of sorts when Horan showed up to support his former bandmate's headlining show, per Cosmopolitan. According to videos of the concert shared online, Tomlinson gave a special shoutout to his longtime friend from the stage.
"Also, I wanna say, I've got a mate in the house today somewhere around there," he said. "Shout out to Niall! I appreciate you being here today, man, it means a lot. Thank you very much!"
As Horan waved to his friend from the balcony, fans in the crowd went wild for the reunion, screaming, cheering and waving back to the "Dinner Party" musician.
The show of support comes amid rumors of a feud between Tomlinson and their former 1D bandmate Zayn Malik, Cosmo reports. The pair were set to reunite on a cross-country road trip documentary series for Netflix; however, they reportedly got into a physical altercation during filming after the KONNAKOL singer allegedly made a "cruel comment" about Tomlinson's late mother Johannah Deakin. A source claimed to The Sun that the comment "crossed a line" and resulted in Malik punching Tomlinson. The docuseries has reportedly been shelved.
