Niall Horan marks 33rd birthday with exciting message to fans ahead of tour

Niall Horan has marked his 33rd birthday by turning the spotlight back on his fans.

Over the weekend, the former One Direction star shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of himself with a guitar with a sweet and exciting message.

Taking over to his Instagram Stories on Sunday, September 13, the Slow Hands hitmaker posted a black-and-white rehearsal photograph showing him seated with an acoustic guitar in a rehearsal room.

Dressed casually in a dark T-shirt, loose trousers and white sneakers, Horan, who turned 33, appears focused on the music as other instruments and equipment can be seen around him.

Over the image, the birthday boy wrote: “thanks for the birthday wishes [red heart emoji] can’t wait to see you all on tour soon.”

Born in Mullingar, Ireland, Horan rose to global fame as a member of One Direction before establishing a successful solo career.

His latest birthday arrives at an exciting moment professionally as he is preparing for his upcoming Dinner Party: Live on Tour, which is scheduled to begin in Birmingham on September 22.

The Night Changes crooner has been giving fans glimpses of the intense rehearsal process in the run-up to the tour.

Just a day before his birthday, he shared another rehearsal-room update, joking about wanting to escape the exhausting preparations.
