Louis Tomlinson (born Louis Tomlinson in Doncaster, England on December 24, 1991) is a member of the British boy band One Direction. His audition performance of “Hey There Delilah” by the Plain White T‘s earned him a spot on British X Factor in 2010, but he was later rejected as a solo act. Simon Cowell then formed One Direction with Louis and other X Factor solo contestants Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. Louis is the oldest member of the group.
