Louis Tomlinson rips off Liam Payne's shirt at One Direction gig

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson sent fans into a screaming frenzy on Sunday (26Jul15) after ripping off bandmate Liam Payne's shirt during a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Cheeky Tomlinson, who was wearing a loose-fitting tank top, approached his pal midway through their set and decided to give him a new look by yanking at the top of the blue shirt and ripping off the buttons.

In video footage of the incident, which has surfaced online, a stunned Payne tries to cover himself up as his chest and abs become exposed, much to the crowd's delight, while images of the shirt close-up reveal Tomlinson actually tore part of the fabric.

After the gig, Payne took to Twitter.com to comment on the incident, writing, "Well thanks for ripping my shirt tommo ... What can u do ay aha (sic)".

Dad-to-be Tomlinson, who is expecting a baby with Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth, did not mention the shirt-tearing prank on his page and instead simply wrote, "Great show tonight !! Loveeeeeeeeee (sic)".
