Louis Tomlinson feels too old to sing some of One Direction's songs

Louis Tomlinson feels too old to sing some of One Direction's songs.

The 34-year-old star shot to fame as a member of the What Makes you Beautiful group and though he visits their back catalogue for his live shows, he admitted it can be quite tough to choose which tracks to perform because some of them seems too "raunchy" now.

Asked if he has selected the One Direction songs he will play on his upcoming tour, he told Billboard: "For starters, I like to pick one that I wrote — but the biggest challenge is finding a lyric that feels all right to sing as a 34-year-old guy.

"And that’s actually not the easiest thing to do, because some of those One Direction lyrics are f****** raunchy, man, proper!

"But it’s also a really fun thing to try and integrate something sonically.

"We do a version of 'Night Changes' that’s got some real tempo behind it — Sam Fender was an inspiration for that composition of it. That’s a full-circle feeling of a song that I sang in the band, and now I’ve found a way for it to fit in [my] set."
