One Direction wants to 'beef up security' with 20 bodyguards per member on 2014 'Where We Are' stadium tour

According to a new report, each member of One Direction will have up to 20 security personnel during the next year in order to prevent any serious incidents. So Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles will be completely out of harms way on their upcoming "Where We Are" world stadium tour in 2014!

"It's mainly Niall and Liam who are starting to get really obsessive about security. Liam's fears grew after two fans stole his pants in Australia last year," an insider close to the British boy band told The Daily Star.

Payne had his underwear stolen in Australia last year, so this security detail would most likely prevent that awkward incident from happening again. Though there are more serious issues of safety from attacks and even personal health issues

"Niall is getting more and more sensitive because of his panic attacks," the source explained.

The insider added: "It's an insane amount of security for one band, but considering the way crowds form around them, it's necessary."

The Australian band 5 Seconds to Summer was recently announced as the European concerts opener for the One Direction tour, so the members should get used to why the boy band needs so much security.

"We've heard stories from other people about them going into hotel showers and a fan is already in there. I reckon that could be funny actually," guitarist Michael Clifford told The Metro.

Hopefully the increased security doesn't lead to anything negative happening to fans or others a la Justin Bieber's bodyguards.
