LOUIS TOMLINSON REDIRECTED

Louis Tomlinson has secured new management after splitting with James Grant Group in May, with his career now set to be guided by Three Six Zero’s Mark Gillespie and Matt Vines.

Tomlinson is back where he started after signing up as a judge on this year’s U.K. X Factor series. However, the erstwhile One Directioner has assured fans that won’t mean work on his debut album will take a back seat, which is expected on Sony U.K. label Syco on a date that's TBC.

Gillespie is best known as the founder of Three Six Zero Group, which shuttered its British base last year. That’s where Vines has been VP of UK Artist Management, suggesting the company still has some sort of foothold in Blighty.
