Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has touched down at the Brisbane Airport in a stand-offish manner as a small crowd of fans approached him ahead of his performance at Riverstage on Tuesday.

The gate was busier than any of the others in the domestic terminal as a small crowd of fans anxiously awaited his arrival in the hopes for a quick picture.

The former member of the world sensation band quietly waved to his fans who called out “We love you Louis” and “Can we get a picture” as he moved through the airport surrounded by an entourage that urged fans to move away.

Louis responded with a “Thanks guys,” but did not stop to have photos taken with the group.

But this didn’t deter the small crowd of fans, who continued to try to get selfies with the British star as he walked on through the airport.

The hit singer wore a casual outfit of sunglasses, tracksuit pants and a jumper in attempt to keep a low profile.

Once outside, Louis immediately got into a black van with tinted windows before fans waved him off.

The sighting comes after he discreetly landed in Sydney Airport just a few days ago for his solo Australian tour.
