Tomlinson performed twice in New York last Friday night (November 11), appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon â where he performed his latest single, âSilver Tonguesâ â before headlining an intimate one-off show at the 1,200-capacity Irving Plaza. On the way back from that, the former One Direction member said in a statement, he âmanaged to fall and break [his] right arm pretty badlyâ.
As a result of the injury, Tomlinson has axed his entire slate of in-store signings for this week. Promoting his just-released second solo album, âFaith In The Futureâ, the artist was scheduled to appear at record stores across eight UK cities, starting today (November 14) with events at Rough Trade East in London and HMV Westfield in White City.Â
Tomorrow (November 15) would have seen him take to HMV stores in Birmingham and Manchester, before hitting locations in Sheffield and Newcastle on Wednesday (November 16), and in Glasgow and Edinburgh on Thursday (November 17).
Tomlinson assured fans that all of the signings would be rescheduled, writing in his statement that ânew dates will be announced very soonâ. He shared the statement alongside X-rays of his broken arm, which you can see below:

âFaith In The Futureâ arrived last Friday (November 11) via BMG. In addition to âSilver Tonguesâ, it features the singles âBigger Than Meâ and âOut Of My Systemâ. NMEâs Rhian Daly gave the album a four-star review, writing that it âdoesnât reinvent the wheel of modern guitar music, but is a solid step forward as the musician continues what heâs acknowledged will be âan ever-evolving processââ.
Tomlinson will tour âFaith In The Futureâ all throughout 2023. Thus far, heâs announced legs in North America â which will run from late May through to the end of July â and across the UK and Europe.Â
