LOUIS Tomlinson has been blasted as ‘disrespectful’ for watching the England match during his latest concert.
The singer could be seen heavily distracted as he kept his focus on watching the match via his phone on stage as opposed to entertaining his fans who had forked out close to £200 to see him in action.

Louis had been performing in Charlotte in America as part of his latest tour – which has been plagued by troubles since it began.
During one song, Louis stopped singing altogether and let his band cover for him as he took a closer look at his phone to see what was going on during England‘s game against Mexico.
He could then be seen excitedly jeering after England scored as his band continued to play his song.
Louis was also seen sporting an England top during his performance.

It left some of the One Direction star’s fans unhappy as his focus seemed to be elsewhere during the gig.
Taking to social media to react to footage of the moment, one fuming fan said: “If I were at a concert and the singer was watching football while their band was doing all the work, I would be p***ed off.”
Another went on to say: “Yeah I can’t lie, I’m not a fan of this at all and I kinda find it disrespectful to the fans who paid to go see him in concert.”
Before a third penned: “I love him but seeing him doing this is so disappointing.
“People paid real money to see you, and you’re paying attention to a f***ing match instead of doing your job.”
Louis’ tour has taken him across the globe but the singer has struggled to sell out many of the larger venues.
He previously addressed performing to “empty seats” earlier in the tour’s run.
During a performance at a rather empty arena in Norway, he said: “I’m going to call out the elephant in the room because I’m that guy, I’m an over sharer.
“I’ve been thinking about it – I can see the empty spaces, I’m not blind.”
