Who Is Louis Tomlinson’s Song ‘Miss You’ About?
Louis Tomlinson is a musician who has made quite a name for himself over the past decade or so. Many of Tomlinson’s fans and followers know him as one of the singers from the popular group One Direction, but there is much more to the star that rose to fame with the boy band. Take a look back at Tomlinson’s journey and find out who his hit song ‘Miss You’ is about.
What happened to Louis Tomlinson’s mom and sister?
Tomlinson, 29 at the moment, was born in Doncaster in 1991. At just a few days old Tomlinson’s parents, Johannah Poulston and Troy Austin decided to split. Later down the line, his mother remarried Mark Tomlinson and the future star decided to take on the family name.
Tomlinson’s interests in stage life actually stemmed from his little sister who was cast in a comedy called Fat Friends. As a result, at the age of 11, Tomlinson began taking acting classes and accepting small roles on television. The Famous People documented his journey from early on noting his lack of interest in academics and strong passion for the arts. Luckily, though he didn’t even realize it, Tomlinson’s big break was right around the corner.
Sadly, Louis Tomlinson’s mother died from leukemia in 2016, and two years later his sister, Félicité Tomlinson, died at the age of 18 from an accidental drug overdose, The Guardian reports.
How did Louis Tomlinson meet Harry Styles?
Tomlinson’s story is a pretty inspiring one. After following his heart and a lot of work and dedication, Tomlinson made the decision to audition for The X Factor in 2010. As the story goes, he made a great first impression but, unfortunately, didn’t make it past the final round of eliminations. As luck would have it, Simon Cowell, one of the show’s renowned judges, had different plans.
Recognizing Tomlinson’s talent, Cowell couldn’t let him walk away and, instead, offered Tomlinson a spot on the series. Of course, the catch was that Tomlinson wouldn’t be featured on The X Factor alone but as a group with four other young talented men: Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik. Although these gentlemen auditioned individually, because of Cowell, they became One Direction and fan-favorites of season seven of The X Factor.

With that being said, over the last few years Tomlinson has had the opportunity to work on his solo career. In 2017, he debuted his very first single, ‘Back To You’. The song was a huge hit and landed a top 10 spot in the UK. ‘Just Like You’ was another one of the star’s solo songs that embodied his skills for writing lyrics.
