Liam Payne thrills One Direction fans as he breaks his silence on Louis Tomlinson’s debut album

One Direction fans went into meltdown on Friday morning when Liam Payne congratulated former bandmate, Louis Tomlinson, on his debut album. Cheryl’s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy took to Twitter to mark the momentous occasion as Louis finally released his highly-anticipated album, Walls. Credit: Getty “Congrats @Louis_Tomlinson huge day for you can’t wait to check it out later well done man through all your wins and your hard times you did it,” he wrote. Things haven’t been easy for Louis since the band broke up in 2015 after he lost his mother and sister in the space of just three years. Louis’ 18-year-old sister, Félicité, tragically died of a heart attack after ‘accidentally overdosing’ on Cocaine, Xanax and Oxycodone in 2019. Her death came just three years after the siblings lost their mother to an aggressive form of leukaemia in 2016.

Eyes On: ‘Miss Americana’ Director Lana Wilson

Name: Lana Wilson Age: 37 Hails From: Kirkland, Wash. Résumé: Wilson was selected by Taylor Swift to direct “Taylor Swift: Miss Americana,” which opened the Sundance Film Festival and was released by Netflix on Jan. 31. She also directed the Emmy-winning abortion documentary “After Tiller” and “The Departure,” which was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. Why We Care: As the market for documentaries continues to heat up in the era of streaming services, Wilson has set herself apart with a track record of directing journalistic features with critical acclaim. While her first two features tackled weighty topics — late-term abortion and suicide — she has shown that she’s able to cross over into pop culture with her most recent project, for which she was personally selected from a shortlist by Swift. With two Independent Spirit Award nominations and an Emmy and the visibility of the Swift documentary, Wilson has become a talent to watch. Lana Wilson  Charles Sykes/Invision/AP/Shutte
