Niall Horan says there are "plenty more One Direction shows to come".

One Direction

The 23-year-old singer recently launched his solo career with the single 'This Town' but insists that One Direction's hiatus is not a permanent split and he and bandmates Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson will reunite for more concerts in the future.

When asked during an interview on 'Most Requested Live with Romeo' if he had to choose between playing a winning game at Augusta, one of the most famous golf courses in the world, or getting back on stage with One Direction, golf-enthusiast Niall insisted there was no need to make a choice.

He said: "There's going to be plenty more One Direction shows, that's a guarantee so it's not a case of one more show. There's definitely more than one more 1D show coming up, that's a fact."

However, right now Niall is concentrating on his solo career and he is thrilled with the reception to his new track.

He said: "I've been sitting on it since March so it's exciting to have it finally out there for everyone to hear.

"'This Town' was actually one of the first new songs that I wrote where I thought, 'Oh actually maybe I can do something with this'."

And he says the recording process was different to what he is used to.

He explained: "It was strange. The vocal on the track, that was take number two. I've never done a straight vocal before, that was the maddest part. It was daunting."

Before launching his solo career, Niall enjoyed some time off to travel and spend time with his loved ones and he was thrilled to have a few relaxing months after a busy schedule with One Direction over the past few years.

He said: "That's the best part, being able to do the things I haven't been able to do and go home and see everyone. And to also do some writing."
