Originally released on March 13, 2020, Heartbreak Weather debuted at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. The first leg of Horan’s North American tour was set to launch on April 20, but the COVID-19 pandemic brought touring to a halt. In November 2020, Horan played a show (without an audience) at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Streamed worldwide, all profits were shared by Niall’s touring crew and the #WeNeedCrew relief fund, a hardship fund for the touring industry.

A near-lifelong songwriter who taught himself to play guitar as a kid in Ireland – and who names attending an Eagles concert at age four as a pivotal moment in shaping his sensibilities Horan has sold over 80 million records and toured the globe multiple times as part of the iconic One Direction. In 2017, he made his full-length solo debut with Flicker, a Platinum-certified and chart-topping album featuring the triple-Platinum single “Slow Hands.” Heartbreak Weather followed in 2020 and topped the U.K.’s Official Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. He joined NBC’s The Voice” in 2023 and logged two consecutive wins as a coach with the victories of contestants Gina Miles and Huntley. His third album, The Show, was released in 2023 and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales tally and also topped the charts in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Belgium.
