\"I've been to rock bottom and I feel like, whatever my career's going to throw in front of me, it's going to be nothing as big or as emotionally heavy as that,\" he said. \"So, weirdly, I've turned something that's really dark into something that empowers me, makes me stronger.\"

Tomlinson's latest single, \"Kill My Mind,\" is out now.

His debut album is due out next year.
