1:55Now PlayingHe’s sold over 100 million records, performed in front of millions, and been part of one of the most famous bands in history.
Almost no one has achieved that.
But today’s guest Louis Tomlinson has.
At just 18, Simon Cowell chose him to be part of a new boy band called One Direction.
Overnight, he was selling out stadiums all around the globe and breaking records.
But then what followed was the band falling apart, having to build a solo career from scratch, and the unimaginable loss of his sister, Mum and bandmate Liam Payne.
I haven’t seen Louis be this open and honest before - he spoke about how losing different loved ones leads to completely different kinds of pain.
We cover:
- What happens when fame strips away your sense of self?
- How do you rebuild after losing the people you love most?
- How did the loss of Liam Payne affect Louis?
- How grief shaped his music and his view of the world…
What really stood out to me about Louis is how grounded he is. After everything he’s achieved, the fame & the success, he still talks about his fans and his family like they’re his anchor.
You can see how much he’s grown not just as an artist but as a person.
Hearing him speak about building things on his own, from his festival to his brand and his new music, you realise he’s finally getting to define who Louis Tomlinson really is on his own terms.
I’m really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one, let me know them after you’re finished watching.
