      CHAPTER ONE

      FIVE BECOME ONE

      The cheeky son of an Irish butcher. The dark and handsome lad from Bradford, England. The Wolverhampton boy who wouldn’t let health challenges keep him from becoming a confident performer. The chap who was known for singing in the corridors of his Holmes Chapel high school. The prankster who got suspended from classes for exposing his bare bum during a theater production.

      Who could have imagined these five very different guys would come together to become One Direction? Who wants to imagine how different today’s music scene would be if they hadn’t?

      By now, you know their story: These five strangers – Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – individually auditioned for 2010’s The X Factor. They made it through the show’s preliminary competitions but were cut at the boot camp stage. And that’s when the judges threw them a lifeline of sorts; they could continue to compete as a group. The boys all agreed to give it a try and the rest, as they say, is history.

      No, they didn’t win that season of The X Factor, but they’ve undoubtedly become the show’s most famous third-place finishers. In the four years since meeting on that televised talent show, the guys of One Direction have released three albums – and all three have debuted at No. 1. Even more astonishing: By the end of 2014, the numbers-crunchers at Business Insider predict One Direction will be the first boy band in history to earn more than $1 billion in a year through the sale of CDs, DVDs, concert tickets, movie tickets and merchandise.

      Who are these billion-dollar men? We’re so glad you asked:

      Niall Horan

      Niall James Horan was born September 13, 1993, in Mullingar in County Westmeath, located in the north-central part of Ireland. His parents divorced when he was just five. His father worked – and still does – as a butcher. His mother worked at Mullingar Pewter and has since remarried.

      Even as a young boy, Niall had star quality.

      Niall’s cousin, Robert Horan, told the (London) Daily Mail in 2010 that he’d always thought Niall would end up in show business.

      Even when he was a young child, I said to myself, ‘That lad is going to end up on the stage’ – though I always thought he’d end up being a comedian, Robert said. Niall was always really outgoing and quick-witted, always yapping away.

      When Niall decided to try his luck at The X Factor auditions, it was with the full support of his family, friends and teachers. His grandmother and mother escorted him to Dublin, where he tried out with his rendition of So Sick of Love Songs and his close-knit family was in the audience to support him throughout all stages of the competition.

      Much has changed in the four years since Niall first stepped onto The X Factor stage. Yet, much has remained the same.

      Anonymity is long gone. These days, thousands of fans – many of them adoring young women – show up wherever Niall goes: the beach, the mall, a pub. He’s also grown used to tabloid articles chronicling his romances – or alleged romances – with singer Demi Lovato, singer/actress Selena Gomez, songstress Ellie Goulding, Hungarian model Barbara Palvin, TV presenter Amanda Byram and Harry Style’s
