Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson played their first Brtish concert as a foursome on Friday night, June 5 in Cardiff.

Payne responded to rumors of a split before they performed Saturday at London’s Wembley Stadium.

“We don’t know where that came from because we’ve got loads of stuff going on,” he said.

“We have just started the process for recording the new album, we’ve got a whole new tour going on, there are some really good songs so I don’t think we are going anywhere for a while.”
