LOUIS TOMLINSON is considering hiring 1D fans to take control of his music.

Far from trying to escape Directioners, he says they hold the key to helping him make more hits.

The Miss You singer exclusively told GP: ‘I am only guessing what they want, so are the label. They f***ing know what they want! There is a way of us working together.’

He added: ‘I don’t think they get enough responsibility… give them more.’

While the 26-year-old wants some fans to get closer, he has issued a warning to selfie-hunters.

‘When it’s a fan, it’s a fan and they are amazing people,’ Louis said.

‘They are the f***ing reason I do what I do. But, when you are in a bar and you know someone has just come up to ask you for a photo for Facebook, you are like, “You know what lad, I don’t want to be famous. And I don’t want to be famous for you taking a photo, so you can put it on Facebook and f***ing Jenny from Scunthorpe can give you a like.” That’s not my vibe.’

However, genuine praise is always welcome, says Louis.

‘It sounds simple, but when people say, “Your latest single was amazing,” it means a lot,’ the Doncaster lad explained. ‘So it’s nice sometimes to hear something other than, “Can I have a photo? Can you follow me on Twitter.” To actually have a chat with people is cool.’
