Instagram/Liam Payne
Ever since One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus at the top of 2016, singer Liam Payne has some extra time on his hands to work on his fitness.
The singer sent fans into a meltdown by showing off his ripped chest and chiseled abs in a shirtless photo he posted to Instagram early Friday morning. "Downtime," he captioned the snapshot.
Aside from hitting the weight room, Payne is getting ready to launch his own solo career by inking a deal with Capitol Records UK in July. "Happy to have signed to @CapitolUK," he wrote. "They have an amazing history of artists, I hope I can follow in their footsteps."
In October, Payne also scored a contract with Republic Records in the U.S. "Amazing to have signed to @RepublicRecords I am celebrating as I tweet thank you so much for accepting me to your roster of amazing artists," Payne wrote.
