Niall Horan is opening up about feeling trapped at times when he was in One Direction.

The 27-year-old admitted on the People, Just People podcast that the pandemonium around the group made him feel like a prisoner when fans would swarm their hotels or follow their every move.

“I struggled with the idea of, why won’t you just let us out? We just want to go for a walk, you know?” Niall shared. “But, you can’t get inside the brain of a fan, and now I completely get it, but at the time, you’re like, you’re our age! Just let us out! We just want to walk down the street. You must understand!”

He recalled their South America stadium tour and being unable to see the sights, calling it “heartbreaking, but amazing at the same time.”

“We get into Lima at 1 a.m., and we’re driving from the airport to the hotel, and we see a shopping center,” he said. “Me and Louie and Liam were like, ‘Ok, when we get up tomorrow morning we’ll have a little stroll around there.’ The next morning we wake up and me and Louie were playing FIFA in the room, and Liam comes up and is like, ‘Come on, let’s go.’ And Louie still had his curtains pulled. Then Louie goes, ‘Just have a look out that window.’ The police had done a headcount, and there were 10,000 people in the street the whole time.”

Niall Horan joined his pal Ashe for a performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday night (November 11).

The pair performed their duet of her song “Moral of the Story” from the Royal Albert Hall in London.

“So happy I finally got to meet the lovely @ashemusic in person after all these months of chatting over FaceTime. We’re performing Moral Of The Story tonight on @latelateshow so make sure to tune in x,” Niall captioned a photo of them on Instagram.

“well isn’t that the goofiest photo i’ve ever seen of me in my entire life,” Ashe commented, adding, “i look like i just met santa”

She uploaded another photo on her own account, captioning it, “the pretty picture** tonight on @latelateshow with @niallhoran @j_corden”

The weekend before, Niall and Ashe put on a live concert at that same venue, and it was live streamed across the world.

Niall Horan is putting on a virtual concert!

The 27-year-old “Nice To Meet Ya” musician will perform live from the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, November 7th, to raise funds for his touring crew and the #WeNeedCrew relief fund.

“I know that live events are something we all miss, and until we are able to return I want to highlight the incredible people who work in touring that make those events possible and whose livelihoods have been severely affected,” he said in a statement.

“I’m putting on this gig to try and raise awareness of the immense value they bring to an industry enjoyed by so many, and do something to help them and their families,” Niall continued. “I ask all my fans to support them with me and buy a ticket if you can, and I encourage all artists to do the same.”

Tickets for the concert will go on sale THIS Friday (October 16), and that is the only way you will be to catch the show, as it will not be available on demand after it’s over.

While telling fans about the injury back in August, Niall said, “I was chasing my cousin, missed the curb and went over on my ankle.”

“I snapped all the ligaments on the outside of my foot. I’ve got such ugly feet or I’d show the world how bruised it is,” he added (via Yahoo). “I was running drunk and in these new streets, you can drive down them and they’re also sometimes pedestrianized… so the curb looks the same as the actual drive-able road and there was a little curb.”

Over the summer, Niall was photographed while stepping out with his rumored girlfriend!

Niall and Amelia were first reported to be dating in early July, just about a month ago!

According to Daily Mail, Amelia is a buyer for the shoe brand Nicholas Kirkwood.

Just a couple weeks prior to this outing, Niall took to social media to celebrate the One Direction 10 year anniversary.

“Emotion filled day today. The love from around the world 10 years on is amazing. Thank you for your loyal support as always. Crazy what 5 normal guys can achieve. Proud Red heart #10YearsfOneDirection,” he shared on Twitter that day.
