One Direction members hug each other, thank fans at final show of tour

Los Angeles: Popular boy band One Direction brought their "On the Road Again" tour to a close with a final show in Sheffield, England.

Band members Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan all thanked their loyal fans during the concert, which marked their last before they start their well-deserved break next year, reported Aceshowbiz.

Standing in front of the screaming audience, the group expressed gratitude for the support they'd received from fans in the past five years. The four boys shared a group hug right after Horan told his bandmates that he loved them.

On the next day, they delivered another thank-you message via a Twitter video featuring Louis saying in front of the camera, "We just want to say a massive thank you to every single fan who has come and watched us on tour. We love you and you have made this tour for us, so thank you".

Before starting their hiatus, One Direction is scheduled to release their fifth studio effort "Made in the AM" on November 13.

It will be their first full-length without former member Zayn Malik who left the band earlier this year.
