Before the show

During the meet and greet Zayn and Liam were completely fine with each other and in the pics they were together and smiling.

After that Zayn was seen outside talking with Paul and another man. Due to their expressions it's appropriate to say that they were have a not nice conversation. See that Zayn's hand is perfectly fine.

Gordon Ramsay posted this pic from his dinner with One Direction at his steakhouse in Las Vegas before the show. Zayn's not in the pic, so he wasn't there.

During the show

After the opening act the fans saw Danielle and her sister coming from the backstage and as if it wasn't enough it was her birthday eve. X

As soon as the boys were on the stage, everyone saw Zayn's hand was hurted, the media said he got hurted while working out.

Zayn ignored Liam all the time, but with the other boys he had no problem to interact.

At the end of I Want the boys used to hug and bow, Zayn was always next to Liam but that night he walked away from him when Liam tried to hug him.

The most iconic ziam moment of the night was at the end of More Than This, when they had to sit on the couch and Liam sang his part directly to Zayn while Zayn ignored him. X

The theory here is that Zayn didn't know Danielle was going to be at the show, so when he found out he had an argument with Paul and the other man and then he hit a wall out of anger.

Liam didn't tell Zayn that Danielle would be at the show so he was upset and that's the reason why he was ignoring him all the time and Liam seemed to be very repentant.

The next day in Phoenix, during Liam's solo in I Want, Zayn was fondling Liam's face, so they were back to normal.

It is indeed the first case that we use the f-word. I find it appropriate, because in the last song it once again underlines the dark mood on ‘Spirit’. When I began writing songs at the end of 2015 and early 2016, it felt to me as if the world was slowly getting doomed. I just had to make it a theme. And even though I did not think that Trump would become president, you could see how the Trump train was slowly taking up speed and was dragging the whole election campaign into the dirt. At the same time, you saw and see these horrible images from Syria every day, that no one seems to care about anymore. No wonder I got a gloomy look at the world and concluded: “We’re fucked”? A little side-note: A young artist from Australia is working on a piece of art, in which she is drawing the words “we”, “are”, and “fucked” in sign language. It’s a Christmas gift from my wife. I have yet to ask her, but I also think it would make a great design for a T-shirt. © Martin Gore, Intro magazin (24/04/2017); Translation by Angelinda (dmlive.wiki)

I usually don’t like to post unfinished work, but this is something I’m really proud of and honored to have been asked to do. Just before boarding my flight to Australia, I dropped this off at the home of Martin Gore, founding member of the iconic band Depeche Mode. After being shown my work by my dear friend Camilla Cleese, Martin’s lovely wife, Kerrilee, asked me to do this as a surprise Christmas present for him. I couldn’t have been more stoked. By now Martin will have seen the piece in its current state, along with the video Kerrilee took of me detailing the journey behind its creation. I can’t wait to finish it when I return to America.

At 2 x 2.5 feet, the piece contains 11 life-size hands, both male and female, of all different races, from 5 continents, covering an age span of over 70 years, drawn in coloured pencil. I would like to extend a huge thank you firstly to Camilla for continuing to share my work, often when I am too embarrassed to do so, and secondly to Kerrilee, for trusting me with such a project! And to all those who let me photograph their hands, both those who made it into the final composition and those who didn’t, I cannot be more grateful.

In sourcing all of the individual components, I met people I otherwise never would have, and had the privilege of hearing their unique stories; stories of lives and cultures so unimaginably unlike my own; of suffering and hurt I do not know of; of happiness, redemption, love and beauty; of undeniable, insoluble humanity. I have no absolute answers to the world’s problems, but I cannot speak of the listening to and sharing of stories, nor pricelessness and necessity of interacting with fellow humans, more highly. We may not look the same, or think the same, but we all feel love, and we all, without exception, feel pain. That is to say: we are all human, a fact we know but seem to forget and perhaps don’t fully understand. Thank you again to the ones who made this possible. © Grace Tame - tamepunk (26/12/2016)

An absolute honour to have my art hanging above Martin Gore’s piano! What a legend. © Grace Tame - tamepunk (06/09/2018)
