Louis Tomlinson streams Liam Payne's virtual 'The LP Show', One Direction fans cheer for 'LiLo supremacy'
Former One Direction members Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne may have split way back in 2015 but the friendship between Tomlinson and Payne manages to catch everyone’s attention to this day.
One Direction was formed in 2010 after the group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records. They finished third in the seventh season of the British singing reality show ‘The X Factor’ in 2010. Zayn Malik was the first to leave the boy band in March 2015.
The Internet recently got proof of how close the friendship between Tomlinson and Payne is and the bond the two share despite not working together for the last five years.
It all started when a stan on Twitter asked Louis Tomlinson if he was watching Liam Payne’s live stream concert called ‘The LP Show: Final Act’ and luckily the ardent fan got a reply from the former One Direction member.
Louis had first posted a tweet which read, “Hope everyone's doing alright! Stay safe!” to which one female fan asked, “ARE YOU WATCHING LIAMS SHOW LOUIS I LOVE YOU I HOPE YOURE WELL.” The fan must surely be thanking her stars as the singer simply reverted with an obvious answer saying, “Of Course.”
ARE YOU WATCHING LIAMS SHOW LOUIS I LOVE YOU I HOPE YOURE WELL

Liam Payne’s ‘The LP Show'
Liam Payne had first announced‘ The LP Show’ virtual concert in July 2020 and it first aired in the same month. The singer, who turned 27 last year, had then planned to present his fans with 'The LP Show Act 2' on his birthday in August. Cut to 2021, Liam Payne performed the final act of his live virtual concert.
Liam reportedly put the virtual concert together as a support to his touring family members, who had been hard hit by the pandemic, such as cancellations of tours, loss of jobs and wages. The proceeds from the show will be given to them.
