NOW NIALL, NIALL HORAN, WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON THIS
INCREDIBLE NEW ALBUM, HEART BREAK WEATHER.
OUT ON THURSDAY.
TELL US ABOUT THE ALBUM YOU SAY IT IS ALL ABOUT STORY LINES OF A
BREAKUP.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU IN TERMS OF FROM FEELS TO TRACK ONE TO
TWELVE, OR WHATEVER.
>> KIND OF LIKE A STORY, BUT THE FIRST THING I EVER WROTE DOWN
WHEN I STARTED WRITING THE ALBUMS WHAT THE TITLE.
AND IT WAS LIKE HOW DO YOU MAKE, HOW DO I TURN THIS INTO A
CONCEPT ALBUM.
TO FIND OUT WHAT HEART BREAK, BREAKUP ALBUMS CAN BE VERY I'M
SO SAD, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME, MY SAD OF THINGS, THIS TIME I WAS
TRYING TO WRITE FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, FROM PEOPLE LOOKING IN,
AXEnd WHETHER THE I WAS CORELATING TO DIFFERENT
FEELINGS.
YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AS YOU COME OUT OF A BREAKUP.
>> I LIKE THAT.
>> SO STORMY DAYS, SUNNY DAYS.
IT HELPED ME WRITE THE CONCEPT AND THE STORY LINE.
THAT IS WHAT I TRIED TO DO.
>> James: DID IT FEEL WHEN WERE YOU WRITING T BECAU IT
WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT BEING HEARTBROKEN.
WERE YOU WRITING IT FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF YOUR OWN OR HEART
BREAK IN GENERAL.
>> MY OWN, THAT IS HOW IT KICKED OFF.
I WROTE THE FIRST SONG IN THE VOLUME T IS SAD.
AND THEN FROM THERE I WAS GOING TO WEED MY WAY AROUND THE
CONCEPT HEART BREAK WEATHER.
>> James: THE NICE TO MEETIA TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT MONTH.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) AND I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
YOUR GOOD FRIEND AND SEEMINGLY HUGE STAR LEWIS CAPALDI IS GOING
TO OPEN FOR YOU.
IT MUST BE NICE, ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A FRIEND ON
THE ROAD.
>> I MEAN IT IS PERFECT SCENARIO.
I GET TO TOUR, TOUR THE COUNTRY IN ARENAS AND A MATE OF MINE WHO
IS ALSO PRETTY ALL RIGHT FAMOUS, I SUPPOSE, IS GOING TO COME WITH
ME.
I MEAN WHAT HAPPENED TO LEWIS' CAREER OVER THE LAST 18 MONTH, I
REMEMBER FINDING HIM OR SEEING HIM ON INSTAGRAM OR YOUTUBE, A
COUPLE HUNDRED VIEWS AND I WROTE TO HIM AND SAID I LOVE WHAT YOU
ARE DOING.
IF YOU EVER WANT TO PLAY A FEW TUNES AT A SHOW OF MINE, ARE YOU
MORE THAN WELCOME AND HE OPENED UP FOR ME IN GLASS GOA.
WE HAD A FEW BEER, GOT ON LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE.
HIS WE ARE TOURING TOGETHER, IT IS THE PERFECT SCEN AR JO.
>> James: UNLESS THE TWO OF YOU GRAB EACH OTHER INTO
TROUBLE, WHICH I DO BELIEVE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR.
>> YEAH, THE OLD CELTIC THING, SCOTTISH IRISH SEEMS SO FLAIR UP
EVERY TIME WE MEET BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A BIT OF A CHAT.
HOW DO WE TONE THIS DOWN.
WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE ONE BIG BLOWOUT BEFORE WE GO ON TOUR
BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY EITHER OF US WILL BE ABLE TO.
>> SURVIVE.
>> SO I'M JUST GOING TO PUT HIS DRESSING ROOM ON THE OPPOSITE
SIDE OF AT RENA TO TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
>> James: YEAH, SURE, THAT WILL DO IT YEAH, THANDIE, WHAT
IS THE BIGGEST AUDIENCE YOU HAVE EVER PERFORMED FOR.
>> OH T WASN'T STRICTLY A PERFORMANCE.
IT WAS AN DISENLT.
IT WAS WEMBLEY, I KNOW, RIGHT.
WEMBLEY AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON STAGE TO INTRODUCE AL GORE
WHO WAS-- THIS IS IN LONDON, OBVIOUSLY WEMBLEY IS IN LONDON.
AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO SATELLITE AL GORE IN.
AND JUST BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE THEY SAID TO ME LISTEN, IF BY
ANY CHANCE THE SATELLITE LINK WITH AL GORE GOES DOWN, JUST
FILL IN.
I WAS LIKE BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
OH NO, NO, NO, NO.
IF WE LIFT UP A PIECE OF CARDBOARD THAT SAYS FILL, OKAY.
SERIOUS, I'M LIKE HEY, EVERYBODY.
SO HERE'S AL GORE.
FILL.
>> James: WITH GOOD FRIEND BILL.
>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
I'M ON STAGE.
THE WHOLE OF WEMBLEY AND IT'S SILENCE.
SO I JUST SAY, KNOCK KNOCK.
>> WHOSE THERE.
>> M-A-B STRKS A BIG FORCE M-A BE B IT'S BIG HORSE WHO.
>>-- I'M LONDONER.
