Simon Cowell bans Nial Horan from performing at 'The X Factor'

Music mogul Simon Cowell has reportedly banned former One Direction member Niall Horan from performing his solo work on "The X Factor".
Cowell, 57, who discovered the Irish signer when he put up together the boy band, is upset over him for rejecting his solo record deal and signing with Universal, reported Mirror.
According to a source there is 'zero chance' he will be invited onto one of the live shows to perform his track "This Town," while Liam Payne is also said to be blacklisted after he chose to sign with a rival label.
"Simon really thought the 1D boys would show loyalty after he mentored them on the show and made them the huge global success they are. Instead they went behind his back.

"He's not going to be doing them any favours. He knows artists love performing on the show as there are eight million viewers to promote their songs to," the source added.
