1D's Louis Tomlinson forgets his solo lyrics mid-song during concert

Watch the moment forgetful Louis is rescued by One Direction bandmates as he totally goes blank on stage

It must be hard remembering the lyrics to a few dozen pop songs - which is probably whythe lyrics are always so simple.

But poor Louis Tomlinson totally forgot the lyrics for his solo at One Direction's gig in Cardiff on the weekend.

The embarrassing moment was caught on film by a fan as Louis - who rivals Harry Styles for best hair in the band - lost his concentration.

Well, it can't be easy when there are 10,000 excited girls (and a few parents feigning interest) staring right at you.

During the band's cover of Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus, Louis was given the simple job of singing one of the final verses solo.

Instead of smashing it O2 Arena style (when we were in the crowd) it was more like our Christmas party at Lucky Voice when someone thinks they know the words to the Thong Song.

Louis, 21, fist bumped Zayn Malik as he strutted to the edge of the stage and went blank.

"I just forgot the lyrics. I'm not even going to pretend that I know them.

The rest of One Direction - Harry, Zayn, Liam Payne and Niall Horan - chipped in to save his blushes as Louis managed to stutter the last line.

"I'm sorry, Cardiff," he gushed.

Harry Wants 'Military Security For One Direction Tour'

Styles has been left 'freaked out' after he was hit with a shoe...

Harry Styles allegedly wants to hire military security for One Direction's US leg of their Take Me Home world tour.

The 19-year old is said to have been "freaked out" after he was hit in the crotch with a shoe during their Glasgow gig last week, with The Daily Star reporting he also wants extra protection following his split from Taylor Swift.

A source told the tabloid: "Harry is not joking, he's taking the situation very seriously. He's mentioned high-security cars like the ones used by military top brass, plus a convoy.

"He also feels there are Taylor Swift followers out there who may hold a grudge against him following their break-up."

They added: "He may have looked casual and jokey lying on the floor but behind the scenes he was freaked out."

The news comes after Hazza's 1D bandmate Louis Tomlinson reportedly installed a panic room in his Hertfordshire home after girlfriend Eleanor Calder received death threats from jealous fans.

In other related news, the lads are also thought to have hired a luxury private jet, worth £3million, for their tour.

According to The Mirror, the aircraft has been branded Air Force One Direction, with The X Factor group using it for the first time for tonight's gig in Dublin (March 5).

However, their support act, 5 Seconds of Summer, were left to get the ferry over to Ireland, with the band tweeting yesterday: “Going to Ireland on a boat. We’re on the ferry to Dublin! PUMPED!

One Direction arrive at the O2. And have a much better time than Justin Bieber

They hit London. And this is the madness that ensued...

Just 1D-erful: Teacher spends 16 hours queuing for One Direction tickets for star pupils

She pitched a tent and spent 16 hours queuing so her four star Year 9 girls could see the boyband play in Cardiff tonight

A dedicated girls’ school teacher camped out all night to get One Direction tickets – to give as prizes for the top scorers in a Latin test.

Sally Knights, 59, pitched a tent and spent 16 hours queuing so her four star Year 9 girls could see the boyband play in Cardiff tonight.

Sally, Latin teacher at Redland High School for Girls in Bristol, said: “Because I work in a school with girls, I know what interests them.

“What would Harry Styles think if he knew he had a role in encouraging people to learn Latin?”

"I am beyond p*ssed off at you little f*ckers": Yeah, Directioners are NOT happy about 1D's NME awards

One Direction's fans clogged the music mag's inbox after the boys were named Worst Band and Harry Styles was crowned Villain Of The Year

Hell hath no fury like a peeved Directioner - something that the journo-types at NME are only just finding out.

Staff at the very serious music mag arrived at work this morning to find their inboxes jammed with messages from One Direction fans crying at them over email.

The cause for their mass upset? The night before, the magazine had crowned One Direction Worst Band at the NME Awards 2013.

Worse still, they singled out lovely Harry Styles as Villain of the Year.

Harry beat out the likes of David Cameron, Psy and Azealia Banks to take the title. We mean, seriously?

Harry himself took the award with good grace, tweeting: "Thank you to @NME for my award tonight. Gotta take the rough with the smooth eh?"

But the band's fan base were less than impressed, and bashed out angry emails whilst sobbing into their 1D bed spreads.

In one email which NME posted on their blog, fan Rikita tells them that she is "beyond p*ssed off at you little f*ckers."

She goes on to ask the question we all want answered, namely: "How could you even nominate LET ALONE CHOOSE Harry f*cking CUPCAKE Styles aka MOST SELFLESS NINETEEN YEAR OLD BOY IN THE F*CKING WORLD OF CELEBRITIES to be villain of the year?"

Later in her VERY long email, Rikita made us chuckle by writing: "I bet you sit at your little f*cking MacBook, like "ooh look let's give Harry Styles villain of the year because there are pictures of him with new girls every night and he broke Taylor's heart", and then you sign off your little computer laughing, put on your sparkly ass uggs and then you go and get a manicure."

Why was Zayn Malik crying on stage during One Direction's tour?

The bequiffed one got a little teary whilst the band were performing their hit song Little Things.

If anyone reading this has a direct line to Zayn Malik, can they check in and see if he's alright - and maybe send some Kleenex his way?

The reason we ask is that the boy band member was snapped on stage with his One Direction bandmates at the weekend seemingly shedding a tear.

The picture, posted on Twitter by a keen-eyed Directioner, was taken during their performance of their Ed Sheeran-penned hit Little Things.

Yeah, we often have a little cry listening to that song too. Mainly because we know thatZayn will never join up the dots with the freckles on OUR cheeks. That's not weird, is it?

Anyway. Zayn was on stage with the rest of 1D in Glasgow, the latest date on their world tour which kicked off at London's O2 last week.

It's possible that Zayn is already missing his lady love, Little Mixer Perrie Edwards , although he'd best get used to it - the tour doesn't finish until November. He'll be sobbing on Harry's shoulder by the end of it.
