One Direction were pictured enjoying a night out in New York on Tuesday night as they celebrated the birthday of Louis Tomlinson's sister, Lottie.

Louis and his sibling stepped out with Harry Styles and Liam Payne, who both cut smart but casual figures for the occasion as they let their hair down at the Jane hotel, while bandmate Niall Horan was spotted partying with a separate group across town.

Lottie looked cute in all black, with pink hair for the outing as she was joined by the boys, who all had big smiles on their faces following the big night.

Out and about: Dad-to-be Louis Tomlinson stepped out in New York this week to celebrate his sister's birthday

It's a united front for the group after Liam Payne has admitted that he thinks One Direction 'needs a break'.

The 21-year-old singer has hinted that the hard-working band plan to take some time off following the release of their fifth studio album later this year.

Liam's admission comes two months rumours were swirling that the band - also featuring Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson - would be taking time out to work on individual interests.

Speaking during an interview with Free radio, Liam explained: 'You know, I think everyone needs a little bit of a break now, and a sit down and a stop, to kind of take in all the great things that've happened.'

Shortly after Zayn Malik's shock departure from the group in March, Liam had insisted that the group would not be taking time out 'for a while'.

He told BANG Showbiz: 'We won't be going anywhere for a while, so I don't know where that's brewed from.'

The Steal My Girl hitmaker - who is dating his childhood friend Sophia Smith - also admitted that he wants to write music for other artists and spend some time back at home.

Asked what he wants to do during their time off, he said: 'There's loads of things. I've been writing a lot on the road at the moment, not for me, just for other people.

'I've been doing a lot of things, you know trying to get into the producing side of it which is pretty cool.'

Homesick? But the 'Steal My Girl' hitmakers seem to have had a change of heart, and Liam - who is dating his childhood friend Sophia Smith - wants to write music for other artists and spend some time back at home

Nevertheless, the group - who premiered the first single 'Drag Me Down' from their fifth studio album last week - are excited for the release of their next LP, which they have only recently completed work on.

One Direction took to the Good Morning America stage in New York on Tuesday morning in front of thousands of screaming fans to perform their new hit on television for the first time.

Drag Me Down is the band's first single without former member Zayn Malik and is setting their pace as a four-piece with it setting a new Spotify record with more than 4.75 million streams in one day.

The band are making finishing touches to the LP while they continue their North American tour.

Meanwhile, ex-1D member Zayn recently caused a stir when he signed a brand new contract with RCA Records, despite having left the group in March to be a 'normal 22-year-old' and focus on his relationship with Perrie Edwards.

And he has hit the headlines once again, after calling off his engagement with the Little Mix star, his actions at odds with his claims made earlier this year when he sensationally quit the group.

The news was revealed on Tuesday that the pop star lovebirds' four-year relationship had come to an end, at the same time as the hitmaking former X Factor group debuted their brand new track.
