Niall Horan warns fans against car chases

Singer Niall Horan has warned One Direction admirers to stop chasing their cars.

The 21-year-old singer asked his admirers to stop risking their lives by pursuing him and fellow band members Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles in high-speed road chases.

Airing his frustration prior to their "On The Road Again Tour" show in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he told his 22.8 million Twitter followers: "Guys, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Ya can't keep driving this crazy, ya gotta be safe on the roads ! Seriously.

"This thing of chasing our cars down the freeway, it's not safe , changing lanes in a crazy manner at 65mph is not on b (sic)."
 

Horan's desperate plea comes as thousands of Directioners across the globe await an announcement about former band member Zayn Malik, following a mysterious hashtag which trended worldwide earlier in the week.
