One Direction's ‘Night Changes' Music Video Hits 1 Billion Views on YouTube
1D has hit 1B — again. More than a decade after its release, the music video for One Direction's 'Night Changes' has surpassed a billion views on YouTube, marking the band's fourth visual to reach the milestone. Directed by Ben Winston and posted in November 2014, the 'Night Changes' music video gave fans the chance to experience what it would be like to do something many of them had long dreamed of: go on a date with one (or all) of the members of the band. Shot in a first-person POV, viewers were made to feel like they were sitting down at a fancy restaurant with Zayn Malik, ice skating with Harry Styles, riding shotgun next to Louis Tomlinson, sitting by a cozy fire with Niall Horan and walking around a carnival with Liam Payne.

A disgruntled ex dumps spaghetti on Malik's head, Styles injures himself and his love interest in a misguided move on the ice, Tomlinson is pulled over and arrested by a road cop, Horan accidentally sets his sweater sleeve on fire and Payne vomits in his date's hat after getting too dizzy on a spinning fair ride. 'We're only gettin' older, baby/ And I've been thinking about it lately/ Does it ever drive you crazy/ Just how fast the night changes?' the quintet sings in unison as the video's vibes quickly turn from romantic to catastrophic. Released as a single from 1D's fourth studio album, Four, 'Night Changes' is considered a staple in the boy band's catalog. The track reached No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100, one of numerous top 40 hits One Direction achieved between the group's debut in 2010 and dissolution in 2016. Following Payne's death last October, many of the guys' songs experienced a streaming boost as grieving Directioners revisited their discography while processing the news — but 'Night Changes' was the song fans flocked to the most. The track's playback saw a 416% increase in the days that followed the 'Strip That Down' singer's fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, re-entering both the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 95 and the Billboard Global 200 at No. 117. Add your view to more than a billion others by watching the 'Night Changes' music video above.

Liam Payne's Friend Roger Nores Withdraws Defamation Lawsuit Against Singer's Dad
Liam Payne's friend has pulled his defamation lawsuit against the late singer's father, Geoff Payne. Roger Nores — who was acquitted of an involuntary manslaughter charge in Payne's death investigation — asked the court to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit on Wednesday, Rolling Stone can confirm. In his original filing, Nores had alleged that Geoff made false and defamatory statements about him in sworn declarations to an Argentine prosecutor investigating Liam's death, causing him damages of over $10 million.

Now, in an email sent to Richard Bray, Liam's estate attorney, Nores writes that Geoff 'doesn't need to apologize.' 'I'll always remember when [Geoff] came to me the first night at the ranch after I had picked them up at the airport, how he asked me to promise I would never give up on Liam, no matter what,' Nores wrote in the email, obtained by Rolling Stone. 'I kept that promise right until the end, and it was pretty hard.' 'In spite of how everything turned out and Geoff saying in his statement to the police [that] 'this is all Roger's responsibility,'' he added, 'I would have done this 100 times over because I loved Liam with all my heart and I miss him everyday.' A lawyer representing Geoff in the Florida case and attorneys representing Liam's estate did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment. In his original lawsuit, Nores claimed that the father of the One Direction star made 'false' and 'misleading' statements and omitted information in his 'sworn declarations' to Argentine officials while characterizing Nores' involvement in Liam's life. Although the statements made by Geoff were given in another country, the lawsuit claimed that they were 'accessed by persons in the Palm Beach County/Florida' area and caused injury in said places. Nores had claimed that Geoff's statements impacted him and his reputation in 'mega proportions with extensive damages.' In a response to the lawsuit dated Jan. 10, Liam's estate declined to retract the declarations and accused Nores of 'seeking to interfere with a police investigation by pressuring [Geoff] to change his evidence,' adding that they would 'bring his actions to the attention of the Argentinian authorities.' Liam's estate had also slammed the lawsuit's intent of donating proceeds of the lawsuit damages to Liam's son as 'pointless,' adding that the lawsuit causes Liam's child with Cheryl Cole more 'irreparable damage.' Nores was acquitted of an involuntary manslaughter charge last month, despite a denied appeal from the prosecutor overseeing the case. The new update comes several months after Rolling Stone published an investigation into the tragedy of Liam, including a statement from his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry, breaking her silence on his death. Liam died in mid-October after falling from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Argentina.

Zayn Malik's One Direction Tribute Was Special in More Ways Than One
Zayn Malik's One Direction tribute at his Mexico concert, only months after his former bandmate Liam Payne's tragic death, couldn't have come at a better time. He performed 1D's 'Night Changes' in Mexico on the 10th anniversary of his departure from the boy band, catering to fans' wishes and showing a glimmer of hope. The singer announced his exit from the group on March 25, 2015. During his performance, which was special in more ways than one, Malik emotionally announced that he 'almost cried' singing the popular song featuring Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson. The remarkable and nostalgic moment came during the singer's gig in Mexico City on Tuesday night. Directioners couldn't believe their ears when Zayn Malik sang One Direction's 'Night Changes' in an iconic tribute exactly 10 years after his exit from the boy band. He surprised the audience at his Mexico City concert on Tuesday night by performing the hit song, paying homage to his time in 1D. During his performance, the 32-year-old also paid tribute to his late friend and former bandmate, Liam Payne, who tragically died last October after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. A viral Instagram video from the gig showed Malik emotionally telling the roaring crowd, 'It's the first time I've sung that song in 10 years.' He then proceeded to announce how 'f—ing amazing' it felt, claiming he 'almost cried at one point,' and called it an 'insane' experience.' Several other clips from the show exhibited the singer asking the cheering crowd to lower their voices just as he was about to sing Payne's verse from the track. In addition, Zayn Malik's One Direction tribute prompted the audience at his Mexico concert to chant Liam Payne's name in a 'precious' moment. An X (former Twitter) post documented the instance as the audience screamed 'Liam's name at Zayn's tribute.' Another post showed Malik singing his late friend's verse when the wind moved his hair, making it an even more magical experience for everyone. Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea.

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy breaks down in tears while detailing their final memories
Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, got emotional while sharing her final memories with the late One Direction alum before he died in Argentina last year. The influencer shared a tearful TikTok video of herself cleaning out boxes and uncovering a yellow gown she wore to a wedding with Payne in Paris last year. 'This dress actually brings me so much peace and comfort,' she said on Thursday, explaining it holds a special 'memory' she will 'never forget.' 'We went to this beautiful wedding,' Cassidy, 25, continued. 'It was my very first wedding I've ever attended. We just had the best time.' She then pulled out a pair of distressed Christian Louboutin pumps from another box, which she wore with the yellow dress. The internet personality explained the shoes 'were practically almost new' before the event but they got worn out as she and Payne 'danced the night away' and explored the venue. 'I remember the next morning, I woke up and I said to Liam, 'Oh my god, look at these shoes, they're so ruined. I don't know what to do with them,'' Cassidy said. 'I just can't even believe I didn't throw these out and I'm so glad [I didn't]. This memory is embedded in these shoes.' Cassidy and Payne traveled to France for the wedding in September 2024, one month before he tragically died in Argentina at the age of 31. The 'Night Changes' crooner passed away after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in October 2024. A police investigation also revealed he had a boozy time with prostitutes leading up to the incident. Officers have charged five people in connection to Payne's death, including two hotel employees accused of supplying him with drugs. Cassidy was vacationing with the 'What Makes You Beautiful' singer in Buenos Aires a few weeks before he died and the latter spiraled when she left because he wanted her to stay. In February, Cassidy told the US Sun that they traveled 'separately' and she left Argentina to take care of their dog in Florida. The two, who started dating in 2022, had plans to get married.
