One Direction star Niall Horan announces he is to 'disappear' from the spotlight

Niall Horan is taking a step back from the spotlight

Niall Horan is to "disappear" from the spotlight.

The 31-year-old pop star recently wrapped up his 'The Show' world tour - which served as promotion for his third studio album of the same name - and told fans on the final night that he intends to take a break but insisted that he will be back at some point.

Speaking live on stage during his show at the Movistar Arena in Colombia on Wednesday (09.10.24) evening, he told the crowd: "This stands from tomorrow onwards, you'll never find me. I'm gonna be hungover as f*** tomorrow! And I'm gonna disappear for a while. I'm gonna make you guys a brand new album and I will be back, I promise."

Niall previously noted how his current album is "more mature" than anything he has released in the past.

He told BANG Showbiz: "It's definitely the most different, the sound of it has matured a lot. It's kind of a conceptual album about the things in your life. 'The Show' is a metaphor for life in this case, and all the spokes of the wheel that make up your life experience."

The 'Heaven' hitmaker shot to fame alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik as part of the billion-dollar boyband One Direction, who were created on 'The X Factor UK' in 2010 but he previously admitted that he has never really "got used" to the idea that he is known around the world.

During an appearance on 'Entertainment Tonight' in Toronto, Canada, he said: "If you get used to the attention that comes with this job, there's something wrong with you. But it's crazy, isn't it? When you take a deep dive into it. It is nuts that on a cold, wet afternoon in Toronto they are all out there in their thousands. I heard they were all out there camping, I wouldn't recommend it next time. But thank you!"
