    The One Direction boys have given their army of fans two treats today with new tour dates and their latest single

    One Direction will continue their reign over the world of pop as the hard-working band have just announced their European Tour dates. The boys will be jumping back on their tour bus for the 18-gig trip to share their music (and good looks) with the masses.

    Harry Styles and his band mates will be hitting all of the European hotspots including Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona, helping to rake in yet more pounds to their estimated £200 million fortune.

    And that’s not all, they’ll also be doing a solo gig in Mexico City on 9 June – talk about global domination.

    If that wasn’t enough to keep One Direction busy, they’ve also unveiled their next single, Little Things. The track is a stripped back acoustic ballad that allows the singers’ voices to really shine through.

    It was written by Ed Sheeran with his signature soulful sound and folk undertones. It’s not the first time the singer has written for the band though, he also penned Moments on their first album, Up All Night, which marked the start of a new friendship between the two acts.

    So far only a lyric video has been released for Little Things but Niall Horan hinted at what we can expect, telling Radio 1: ‘For the video, we just kind of sit around in a studio and act like we're recording the song.’

    We imagine, like anything One Direction touch, it’ll be a huge hit.
