One Direction «Live While We’re Young» Premieres Today
UNAUTHORIZED LEAK OF MUSIC VIDEO BRINGS FORWARD PREMIERE OF BRAND NEW SINGLE "LIVE WHILE WE'RE YOUNG"
AVAILABLE DIGITALLY MONDAY OCTOBER 1
NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — COLUMBIA RECORDS — One Direction have brought forward the radio and video premiere of their brand new single "Live While We're Young" to today, September 20th.
The hugely anticipated single will premiere on radio today at 12pmET. The music video, directed by Vaughan Arnell, will premiere on VEVO worldwide at 1pm ET.
An unauthorized, poor quality version of the video leaked online this morning prompting Syco/Columbia Records to bring forward the premiere of the single by four days. The band did not feel that it was right or appropriate for the fans to hear the track as this illegal upload, so they have responded quickly, and sent out a message to fans this afternoon via a live Twitcam announcing the new plans.
"We wanted our fans to see the video and hear the single in the proper way so we've moved the premiere to tonight. We're really excited about "Live While We're Young", we've worked really hard on it and we can't wait for everyone to see and hear it later today!"- One Direction
