The chart-topping singer was due to visit HMV’s Ocean Terminal store this week

Louis Tomlinson has been forced to postpone a series of in-store signings – including a visit to Edinburgh – after breaking his arm in a fall.

The former One Direction singer was due to visit HMV’s Ocean Terminal store on Thursday (November 17) at 5pm to meet fans and sign copies of his just-released second album, Faith In The Future.

The 30-year-old pop idol was returning from a concert in New York when he injured himself.

Louis Tomlinson has been forced to postpone a series of in-store signings – including a visit to Edinburgh – after being rushed to hospital after breaking his arm in a fall.

He shared two scans of his arm with his 36 million Twitter followers appearing to show a break in his humerus.

In a statement, he said: “Thank you to everyone that’s listened to the new album so far, it means the world to me. The show last night in New York was incredible.

“Unfortunately on the way back I’ve managed to fall and break my right arm pretty badly. So I’m gutted to say I’ll have to reschedule the in-store signings next week.

“New dates will be announced very soon. Thank you for all your support and sorry to anyone who was coming next week. Louis.”

Faith In The Future was released on Friday and follows his recent single Bigger Than Me.

Describing the new track, he previously said: “I wanted my first single to feel ambitious and to have a certain scale, hence the big chorus.”

He released his debut album Walls in 2020 and it charted at number four in the UK, although its singles performed less strongly.
