Horan earlier confirmed the news during the Hits Radio Breakfast Show with Fleur East, saying \u201cI\u2019m in here finishing it right now. So I\u2019m in the beat lab,\u201d he told them (via\u00a0Music News<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just finishing off some vocal bits and things like that, that I wasn\u2019t happy with, but yeah\u2026I should have music sometime this year. And I\u2019m very excited about it!\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes at a time when other former One Direction members are also releasing music and touring.<\/p>\n

Harry Styles<\/a> will share his fourth solo effort in \u2018Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally<\/a>\u2019 on March 6. Recently, Styles also revealed that some fans will have a chance to hear it ahead of its release with a series of listening parties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans across 40 cities will be given the chance to listen to new material, including his latest single \u2018Aperture\u2019<\/a>, which\u00a0features Wolf Alice\u2019s Ellie Rowsell<\/a>\u00a0and was\u00a0inspired by LCD Soundsystem<\/a>. In a\u00a0review of the new track<\/a>,\u00a0NME\u00a0said it was \u201cStyles as we\u2019d not heard him before\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last month, Styles also\u00a0confirmed a huge, seven-city \u2018Together, Together\u2019 tour<\/a>, which includes a 12-night residency at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium and an impressive 30 dates at Madison Square Garden in New York City.<\/p>\n

The Wembley gigs will see the \u2018As It Was\u2019 singer\u00a0donate \u00a31 from every ticket sold to LIVE\u2019s levy<\/a>, helping to protect UK grassroots music venues and support emerging talent. You can\u00a0visit here<\/a>\u00a0for any remaining UK tickets, and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to get international tickets.<\/p>\n

After tickets went live, former bandmate Zayn Malik<\/a>\u00a0seemingly took a swipe at Styles by making a comment about ticket prices at a recent live show<\/a>. \u201cHopefully the ticket prices weren\u2019t too high \u2013 just saying!\u201d he grinned at his recent Vegas gig, before shrugging. \u201cAnyway!\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Many fans have interpreted the comment as a nod to\u00a0the conversations around the ticket prices for Styles\u2019 upcoming shows at Wembley Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It comes as Malik also announced a new album and his biggest solo tour to date, including a show at The O2 in London \u2013 buy tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The singer is set to play 31 dates on his \u2018Konnakol\u2019 world tour, taking in arenas and stadiums across the UK, North America and South America. The announcement arrived a day after he shared the news of his upcoming LP, also called \u2018Konnakol\u2019<\/a> while the lead single, \u2018Die For Me\u2019, was released on February 6.<\/p>\n

Speaking about new album, \u2018Konnokol\u2019, Malik said: \u201cIt\u2019s that time again, I have been lucky enough to make a fifth studio album\u2026\u2018Konnakol\u2019 in its definition is the act of creating percussive sounds with one\u2019s voice but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a sound that holds the reverberation of a time before words existed. I have always drawn on my heritage for inspiration since I first started making my own music \u2013 this album is a development of that understanding, knowing more now than ever, who I am, where I come from and where I intend to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album, the artist\u2019s fifth, will be released on April 17 via Mercury Records\/Island Records UK and can be pre-ordered here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
