Louis Tomlinson Announces New Global Partnership With BMG

Headline Wembley Arena Show Announced For April 2022

New Postponed World Tour Dates Confirmed For Spring 2022

Louis Tomlinson today announces that he is partnering with BMG to release his second album globally.

Recording is already underway for the record, and Louis joins a roster at BMG that includes KSI, Craig David, Richard Ashcroft, The Prodigy and Kylie Minogue.

Louis says: "I’m very excited to start the next part of my journey with BMG.”

Jamie Nelson VP A&R at BMG UK says: "We are delighted to welcome Louis to BMG. He is already busy working on new music, and we are excited to join him on the next phase of his extraordinary career."

Louis also announces today the first wave of new 2022 dates for his postponed World Tour in UK, Europe, USA and Australia, including a brand new date at London's Wembley Arena. This show replaces Louis's two sold out London shows at The Roundhouse, and tickets will be transferred to the new venue.

Last year, Louis released his million selling smash debut solo album 'Walls' which hit Top 3 in the UK and Top 10 in the USA. A lyrically personal album that proved he had found his feet as a solo artist, the album produced a clutch of acclaimed singles including the emotive first release Two of Us, the raucous Kill My Mind, the reflective We Made It.

In 2019 Louis headlined the Coca-Cola music festival in Madrid to an audience of 25,000 people, and performed to 65,000 fans at Premios Telehit in the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. Louis picked up the Best Song Award at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards for 'Two Of Us', which has so far hit over 100 million streams on Spotify alone.

In 2018 Louis won an iHeart Award for 'Best Solo Breakout', and an EMA Award for 'Best UK & Ireland Act' in 2017. He was ranked No.5 on Billboard’s emerging artists of 2018 and has over 60 million combined followers on social media. Last year he won 'Artist Of The Summer' in Philly radio station 96.5 TDY's annual awards.

In December 2020, Louis hosted one of the biggest live stream concert events of 2020, selling over 160,000 tickets to fans in over 100 countries and raising funds for several important charities. As a member of One Direction, Louis has sold over 100 million records. Overall Louis’ solo music has garnered over a BILLION streams.

story of my life

Chapter 12

A/N:  Could not keep this up without the help and encouragement from my  peeps @niallandharrymakemestrong, @melissas173 and @whoopsharrystyles.  Almost to the end...

Oh, Christmas Eve is covered in detail in the SOML Christmas Special

If you read this and like it, would you tap on the like button?  If you really like it would you consider reblogging? And if you don't like it, would you send me a note to tell me why? All critique is welcome. 

The morning after she had become lost in the storm, Kacey had awakened before dawn and could not go back to sleep.  She lay in the dark listening to Harry’s soft breathing and trying not to cry.  She was unsuccessful. All she could think about was how she had royally fucked up.  She should have just answered his mum, just told her what she wanted to know.  She shouldn’t have lectured her then stalked out like a petulant child.  What they must think of her!

Until this trip she had somehow managed to hide her crazy side from Harry but the day before it had come blazing out in all its glory.  He had been so kind to her last night, but he was the kindest person she had ever met.   He was kind to everyone.  She knew it was just a matter of time now.  She wondered if he would tell her it was just not going to work out or if he would slowly stop spending time with her until he left for good.  She wasn’t sure which would be worse but she did know that, either way, she was going to lose him.

She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.  She opened them again when she felt Harry’s thumbs softly wiping the tears away.

“What’s all this, pet?” his voice gentle and his eyes concerned.

Her lips trembled as she began in a tremulous whisper “I’m so sorry!  I didn’t mean to cause such a ruckus!  I was unforgivably ru--”

“Shhh, love.  No.  Mum told me what happened; why you left so suddenly.  She was very worried about you and sorry for, well, I’m sure she’ll tell you herself,” he said quietly.

Kacey’s tears would not stop.  She tried to quell them but the stress of the last 24 hours was too much.  Harry held her in his arms, cradled against his chest while she cried soundlessly.  Finally, the sobs lessened.  He looked down at her, kissing the last of the tears from her face.  He continued kissing down her cheeks to her chin, then her throat and on down her body.  He kissed every inch of her, and then returned to her face to look into her eyes.  He made love to her then, trying to tell her with his body what he was not yet brave enough to say aloud. 

Kacey was unusually quiet for the rest of their stay.  Though she and Anne had apologized to one another, Kacey was still uncomfortable and did not want to be alone with her.  Harry was usually right next to her, hesitant to let her out of his sight.  Gemma kept her mother occupied much of the time.   When Anne suggested they accompany her to visit old friends one afternoon, Kacey politely declined opting instead to stay at the house.  Though she explained that she needed to study the script for an upcoming episode of Mortwick Murders, Harry knew that the primary reason was to avoid spending the afternoon trapped in a car with his mum.  Harry kissed her goodbye and Kacey spent the afternoon with Robin.  She was drawn to his gentle demeanor and quiet humor.  He, in turn, enjoyed getting to know the woman who had captured his stepson’s heart.

*

The next four weeks were very busy for both Kacey and Harry.  After driving back to London, they had only two days together before One Direction’s fifth album was released and all the promotion craziness began.  The Made in the AM release coincided with a Justin Bieber album release and the internet went ballistic hyping a competition that wasn’t there.  Kacey was annoyed at the comparisons, particularly when 1D debuted at Number 2 in the US behind Bieber at Number 1.  

“Laura, those assholes all need a fucking punch in the nuts.  Did you read this bullshit?  Bieber has been too busy spitting on fans and pissing in mop buckets to release an album in the last three years.  This is the guys’ THIRD album in those three years.  Let’s compare total sales, yeah?  Those anonymous little digs on the internet.  Fuckers. I want them killed,” Kacey was raging over the phone. 

Laura, listening on speaker as she worked in her office in the US, made the appropriate soothing noises at the appropriate points in the tirade that continued.  She decided to intervene as Kacey began planning how she was going to do away with the people criticizing One Direction.

“No, Kacey, you can’t poison Dan Wootten no matter how much you and the rest of humanity would benefit.  Blow torch is out too.  The humiliation thing might work if the man had any shame but I think you’re out of luck there as well.  As for the rest of them, they are just minor little leeches.  You know what we do to leeches,” she reminded her.

“Pour salt on them? No wait, that’s slugs.  What?” Kacey asked, distracted from her anger for a moment.

Laura, thankful for the first time for her friend’s ADD, replied “Pitch them back into the cesspool from whence they came.”

“I’d rather set them on fire and pour salt on them,” Kacey muttered.

“I know sweetie.  But you realize that the salt would put out the fire, right? Defeating the purpose? Anyway, what does Harry say?” Laura asked, knowing the answer already.

Huffing, Kacey said “He says to ignore it all.  But…”

“Ah, ah, ah!  Harry is a Zen kind of guy.  You should try to emulate him,” Laura tutted.

“Fine.  But just wait until the next book.  I’ll find some special treatment for these twits.  Prepare for grisly, violent deaths,” Kacey promised.

“Yay!  I smell another best seller cooking in that brain of yours.”

Harry was in North America promoting the new album and appearing on talk shows and award shows.  He had been on Jimmy Kimmel in the sexiest pair of floral trousers Kacey had ever seen.  Then they played at the AMAs and filmed a performance for New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.  Kacey had hoped they could be together on Thanksgiving but Harry was in Mexico for a performance on the Premio Telehit awards show. 

During one of their facetime sessions, he had hinted that his mum was going to invite her to spend the weekend in Cheshire.  Kacey, not yet ready to face Anne alone, immediately made other plans. 

Kacey had lived in a flat in Henley on the Thames just after she moved to England.  After her first book was successful she had bought the flat.  Her downstairs neighbor, a widow by the name of Heather Crutchley, had become like a surrogate grandmother to her.  Kacey would spend afternoons with her helping with chores around the flat or taking her for errands or just having tea and listening to her reminisce.  Mrs. Crutchley, Hedy as she insisted Kacey call her, had taught her to knit and crochet and tat insisting that keeping the hands busy was a good way to calm the mind.  Hedy adored Kacey and always treated her as one of her own grandkids.  It had been far too long since Kacey had gone back to visit, so she had called to talk and see how she was doing. Seeing an opportunity, Kacey had offered to make Thanksgiving dinner for her and her bridge club (of which Hedy was the youngest member at 75 years of age).  Hedy, being no fool, agreed immediately; Kacey was a very good cook.

On Wednesday Kacey drove the 40 miles to Henley and made a quick stop at Sainsburys for supplies before heading to her flat.  She had ordered a turkey from Douglas Willis Meats that was going to be delivered at any moment and she didn’t want to miss it; particularly since the 17-pound bird cost $110.  She cringed a little at the price, at home a much larger turkey would be on sale for a tenth of that cost, but it would be worth it.  She spent the rest of the day prepping the feast and texting Harry between his promo events.  She was making a traditional Kentucky Thanksgiving dinner with cornbread dressing, gravy, fresh cranberry sauce, candied yams, green bean casserole and her grandma’s famous rolls.  She decided to make the pumpkin and apple pies ahead of time, filling her flat with the spicy sweet scents.

Thursday dawned cloudy but relatively mild.  Kacey planned to have dinner early in the afternoon for the ‘Henley Bridge Babes’ because they all preferred earlier meals.  The ladies were playing cards in the downstairs flat as Kacey prepared the food in hers on the second floor.  Harry called at 1230, 630 in Mexico City, eager to hear her voice first thing in the morning.  He had an invitation for her as well and was excited to tell her about it.

“Kassidy, I talked to Jeff last night.  He has invited us and some other friends to his yacht for New Year’s.  We’ll be cruising in the Caribbean.  What do you say?” he inquired eagerly.

“Oooh, sounds wonderful.  When would we leave?”  she asked as she basted the turkey.

“We’ll fly to Miami on Boxing Day and then spend the next ten days on the yacht.  We’ll fly home on January 3rd.”

“Oh.  Boxing day?  Well, hell.  I can’t! I have to film a Mortwick episode on the 27th.  Will take at least 3 days—I have a pretty big part in this one.  And Geoff Adams is directing.  I’ve told you how picky he is.  We’ll be lucky to get done by the 30th,” irritation creeping into her voice.

“Oh no.  Bloody Hell.  Mum and Robin are coming and Jeff and Glenne want to meet you.  I was hoping to start the new year off with---” Harry was interrupted by Kacey shouting.

“Shit!! Ow, ow, ow.  Damn it, I burned my hand!” she exclaimed. 

Harry could hear the oven door slam and then the sound of water running in the background.  “Are you okay?  Is it bad?” the worry evident in his tone.

“I think it’s okay.  It’s small.  Damn.  I’ll bet that scars,” she muttered.

“Love, I’ll let you go. I’ll call tonight after the show…unless you’d rather I wait until the morning.”

“No, please call me when you are finished.  Good luck, break a leg.  I miss you.”

“I miss you too.  Eight more days,” he consoled. 

“Eight more days,” she repeated.

*

Kacey tried to rearrange the shooting schedule so that she could accompany Harry on the yacht.  Geoff, her co-star turned director for that episode, was adamant that no changes be made.  He informed her that he had a meticulously prepared shooting timeline and they would not deter from it.  Harry was not happy but eventually resigned himself.  He would take her on holiday later, just the two of them.  At least they would have Christmas together. 

They had originally planned to have a simple day with his family, everyone coming to his house and spending the night so that they could leave early together the next day.  Kacey was not entirely happy with this arrangement.  She was excited to spend her first actual holiday with Harry.  After mulling it over for a few days she decided to, as her gift to them all, do Christmas right.  Harry took a little convincing, but seeing how much it meant to her, he agreed. 

Kacey threw herself into list making and contacting florists, landscapers, designers and suppliers.  One morning, in the middle of December, a team of workers showed up to his house and transformed it.  There were Christmas trees and garlands and ribbons and candles everywhere.  All in all, it was very elegant and yet comfortable.  A huge package arrived addressed to Kacey a few days later and she squealed as she unpacked a beautiful antique china set with a Christmas theme.  The elaborate traditional meal that she had planned for them would look wonderful on the plates.

Harry decided to help by hanging mistletoe in almost every doorway and over his bed.   He even took to wearing a sprig of it in the waistband of his jeans, waggling his eyebrows at her whenever she walked past him.  Kacey finally asked him to stop because taking numerous sex breaks during each day, though very nice, was hindering her ability to “Get shit done.” 

Despite the over the top decorations and meal plan, Kacey had asked Harry to go with a simple gift, if any.  The sting of his mum’s question lingering in her mind, she explained that she really didn’t need anything.  Harry echoed the sentiment and was glad that she was so busy because she didn’t notice him sneaking away for a few hours each day.  Kacey had also put a Christmas tree in Harry’s bedroom.  This one she left bare for him to decorate.  He was excited to pull out his personal ornaments and place them where he could enjoy them.   Kacey watched him as he carefully decided on a spot for each one, Christmas movie playing in the background and the smell of pine, hot cocoa and popcorn mingling in the room.

The days flew and before she realized, it was December 23.  Anne and Robin and Gemma were coming in the afternoon.  Kacey was making a lasagna and salad for dinner, while Harry insisted on making breadsticks from scratch.  They worked well together in the kitchen, enjoying the morning.   They took a little break while the dough was rising because Harry mentioned that something else was rising as well and they really should go see to it.  Kacey snapped him on the behind with a towel and then ran squealing with laughter to the bedroom where he caught her up in a hug. 

Christmas Eve was a long day spent at the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. They ice skated and toured the ice sculptures and shops. 

*

Christmas morning was lively.  Kacey had prepared several breakfast casseroles the night before and they ate leisurely before moving to the lounge to open gifts.  Kacey wanted to clean up the kitchen before going in but Harry was insistent that she join them. 

Harry, of course, played Santa.  Before he could get under the tree to start pulling out gifts, Kacey handed him a small wrapped package. 

“What’s this?  I’m Santa!” he tried to sound pouty.

“Try opening it to see, goober.”

“Do I hear sass on CHRISTMAS?  Oh, love, that’s not going to go well for you.”

“Oh, hush and open it.”

Harry tore the paper and ribbons and tossed them aside.  He opened the box and found a plush velvet and fur Santa hat.  He pulled it out and put it on.

“Now, you’re ready to play Santa,” she said, kissing him on the cheek.

He grinned at her as Anne snapped a picture.

Harry handed out the parcels with glee and watched as everyone opened gifts. 

Kacey and Gemma enjoyed a laugh when they realized that they had given each other the same gift—tickets to the same upcoming concert. 

Harry did, in fact, get some slippers from his mum and Robin.  Kacey opened her gift from the Twists and gasped.  It was an antique British cookbook “Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management.”  Kacey had a collection of antique and vintage cookbooks and had wanted a copy of Mrs. Beeton’s for a while but had never actually looked for it.  She thanked them enthusiastically, opening it carefully to glance at the first few pages.   Robin was very pleased with his present from Kacey, grinning when he saw the season tickets to his favorite local football team.   Anne opened hers and sat back in surprise.  It was a signed copy of the newest book by her favorite author, Peg Hughes, entitled “Dante’s Alfredo.” 

“Kassidy, how did you get this?  It doesn’t come out until next month!” she asked, looking at her in awe.

“Oh, I know someone at the publisher,” Kacey said with a smile and a wave of her hand. “Don’t tell anyone!”

Harry handed Kacey one of the last two packages under the tree, taking the other for himself. 

“You go first,” he encouraged her, practically bouncing with anticipation as she held the brightly wrapped box labelled “To Kacey, From Harry”

Kacey gently tore open the paper and then lifted the top off the box.  Inside was a scarf.  Not a silk scarf, a beautiful knit infinity scarf made from the softest wool she had ever felt.  It was a lovely steel blue, the yarn bulky and plush.  It was long enough to loop around her neck almost three times.  There was no tag on it and Harry was watching her closely for her reaction.   That’s when she realized.

“You made this?  You knitted this?” she asked wide-eyed.

Harry shrugged and said “My grandma taught me how.  I was a bit out of practice but I think it came out alright.”

“Oh, Harry, it’s beautiful!  And it’s so soft, is it alpaca?” she said as he nodded that it was. Kacey moved to kiss him softly, tears threatening to fill her eyes.  “Thank you.  I love it.”

Harry turned to his gift as Kacey watched nervously.  The wrapping torn off, he opened the box and looked at the contents, confused for a moment.  Then he let out a huge laugh and grabbed Kacey and hugged her tight.  Kissing her soundly he picked up his package and ran out of the room.  Kacey was laughing and the rest of his family was sitting bewildered, looking to her for answers.  Before she could respond, Harry came barreling back into the room and sliding across the floor wearing a large pair of Batman footed pajamas.  Peals of laughter rang out as he slid and strutted and struck superhero poses.

Gemma took several pictures and then smiled at Kacey.  “How did you know?” she asked her.

“I saw an interview where he said he always wanted some.  I thought I would make that happen,” Kacey grinned.

“They’re great!  Liam is going to be so jealous.  I’m going to text him a picture right now.  Here, Gem, take my picture, please,” he asked handing the phone to his sister.  Striking a pose with his hands on his hips, he affected a serious expression staring off into the distance.   He sent the text with the caption “I AM BATMAN” then hurried to take off the PJs.  They were too warm over his sweater and jeans.  He bent to kiss Kacey and thanked her with a stroke of her cheek.

Harry settled down next to the tree once again and began rummaging around underneath for what he dubbed ‘Kacey’s best gift’.  He emerged and turned around, a bright red bow on his forehead and a tag on his jumper that read ‘To: Kacey, From: Harry.’ Kacey’s face lit up and she squealed.  Anne and Gemma and Robin were laughing and Harry’s expression was one of pure mischief.

Kacey exclaimed “Yay!  It’s just what I’ve always wanted!” clapping her hands as she stood to walk towards him.  He opened his arms to her but she stopped short. 

“No, no, no, no, no!  I want to examine my present,” she giggled.  Reaching her hand out she touched the hem of his jumper and rubbed it between her fingers.  “Just as I thought.  Boyfriend material!”  Gemma and Anne snorted.  Harry rolled his eyes and smirked at her but stood still with his arms akimbo as she slowly circled him.

“Oooh, the Perky Bum 2.0 upgrade!  Very nice. That cost you some serious squats” she observed, giving his glutes a close look as he flexed them at her.  Harry’s family was laughing at them. 

“Good of you to notice,” he remarked drily, watching her as she circled slowly.

Walking around his side and looking him up and down she cooed “You sprang for the ‘enhanced’ rock star package.  Excellent!”

Harry leered and said “I’ll show you an enhanced package later…”

“Harry!” Anne admonished, smiling and shaking her head.

“What?” he asked innocently.

Kacey giggled again “And you even got The Cheeky Chat Module! Good, I like a little challenge.” Stopping directly in front of him, she looked up at him and said, seriously, “Best. Gift. Ever.  I’ll treasure it always.”  She tiptoed to kiss his nose.  Harry grabbed another bow and stuck it on her forehead.  They both laughed and he pulled out his phone for a selfie. 

*

Christmas dinner was delicious and everyone raved about the food.  Kacey had never made goose before but with pointers from Mrs. Crutchley and several google searches, she managed it.  There had been a wariness of the candied yams with pecans but, once tasted, they were deemed a new holiday favorite. The roasted root vegetables and brussels sprouts with bacon were successful as well.  Kacey had even made a Christmas pudding, complete with an antique sixpence cooked inside, Kacey being the lucky recipient.   After coffee, Anne, Robin and Gemma insisted on cleaning up while Harry took Kacey upstairs to snuggle and take a quick nap.

They rounded out the day playing board games and watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” in the lounge.  They all went to turn in early as their flight was scheduled for 630AM.  It had been a lovely day. The night was special as well. Harry and Kacey loved each other goodbye until it was time for him to take a shower and get ready to leave for the airport. 

At the door, he kissed her and then joined his family in the waiting car.  As the car pulled away, Harry turned back to see her smiling and waving.  He blew her a kiss which she 'caught' and put in her pocket.  He was smiling as they pulled out of sight.

Louis Tomlinson Announces The Away From Home Festival

Monday August 30th 2021

Louis Tomlinson today announces his own one day free music event in London on the 30th August, The Away From Home Festival.

Entirely conceived and curated by Louis himself, the one day festival that will host 8,500 fans and will be held at the Crystal Palace Bowl, an iconic South London venue with over 60 years of live music heritage and a legacy as an outdoor performance venue stretching back over a century.

Louis will headline the event with a special live set, with a line up that also includes Scottish band The Snuts who recently hit No.1 on the Official Album Charts, Essex indie punk newcomers Bilk, and DJ sets from Radio1’s Jess Iszatt.

The festival is being held in celebration of the return of live music this summer following a year and a half of Covid 19 restrictions. As his own World Tour is completely sold out, Louis wanted to make tickets for this event completely free so fans don't have to spend any more money to enjoy live music this summer.

Fans can enter the prize draw for tickets now via awayfromhomefestival.com.

Louis says: "I’ve been sat on this idea for the last 12 months at least and now to see it come to life makes me very excited. Personally, playing live shows is the best part of what I do and it’s been far too long since I've seen my fans, so I wanted to put this festival on to say thank you for all the support and celebrate the return of live music. I’ve got a really good feeling it’s going to be a really special night. We all deserve that!"

Louis recently announced that he is partnering with BMG to release his second album globally, with recording already underway for the record. Louis's postponed sold out World Tour will visit the UK, Europe, USA, South America, Asia, and Australia in 2022, including a night at London's Wembley Arena.

In December 2020, Louis hosted one of the biggest live stream concert events of 2020, selling over 160,000 tickets to fans in over 110 countries and raising funds for several important charities and touring crew affected by the Pandemic. As a member of One Direction, Louis has sold over 100 million records. Overall Louis’ solo music has garnered over a BILLION streams.

Last year, Louis released his million selling smash debut solo album 'Walls' which hit Top 3 in the UK and Top 10 in the USA. A lyrically personal album that proved he had found his feet as a solo artist, the album produced a clutch of acclaimed singles including the emotive first release Two of Us, the raucous Kill My Mind, the reflective We Made It.

In 2019 Louis headlined the Coca-Cola music festival in Madrid to an audience of 25,000 people, and performed to 65,000 fans at Premios Telehit in the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. Louis picked up the Best Song Award at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards for 'Two Of Us', which has so far hit over 100 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2018 Louis won an iHeart Award for 'Best Solo Breakout', and an EMA Award for 'Best UK & Ireland Act' in 2017. He was ranked No.5 on Billboard’s emerging artists of 2018 and has over 60 million combined followers on social media. Last year he won 'Artist Of The Summer' in Philly radio station 96.5 TDY's annual awards.

Performing for a live crowd is the most important thing to me, this live stream is a step back into that world and is something I can't wait to film. I want to put on a real show for the fans, with scale and production, creating something special to end 2020 on a positive upbeat note and raise money for charities that are especially close to my heart. I also want to give my touring crew work, and raise some vital money for them, as without my crew the show literally couldn't go on."

Louis Tomlinson returns with a brand new song, 'Walls,' released today Friday, January 17th.

Louis says: "It’s about coming home having been on tour, soon after the band had split. I found some of my girlfriend’s clothes in the cupboard and it hit me what I’d done. I love the indie sound of the song and its circular nature – it opens and closes with the same lyric.”

That lyric – ‘Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone’ – shows Louis’ progression as a songwriter ready to reveal his vulnerable side. ‘The day you walked away was the day I became the man that I am now,’ is another.

"I pretend not to be romantic, but I am," says Louis.

"It really hit home when I was in the studio to hear the strings being recorded. There must have been 25 musicians in there, all for my song. It was a proper tear-jerking moment already and I’ve never felt a shiver like it."

'Walls' is taken from Louis' highly anticipated debut solo album also entitled "Walls," released January 31st 2020.

Lyrically, he’s rightly proud of all twelve tracks on the album, most rooted in real life, but in particular those that dig deep on subjects ranging from relationships and family to the folly of youth and days of self-doubt. Live, he’s most looking forward to performing the songs that reflect the indie-rock he grew up on and still adores today.

"I feel like this is the start of my career, with so much to look forward to and all the plans in place," says Louis.

"Honestly, I’ve been through every emotion possible in the past few years and come out the other side stronger and more confident than I’ve ever been. I know I’ve made an album that my fans will like, one that sounds like me and has its own identity. There were times I wasn’t sure if this was what I should be doing. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else."

2019 was the year that Louis found his feet as a solo artist.
