– Harry, Louis, Niall, and Zayn
The album’s proceeds will go to The LP Project, a newly founded non-profit dedicated to supporting young artists and providing mental health resources for youth across the UK and beyond.
Fans can begin pre-saving and pre-ordering The Last Verse starting July 1st on all major streaming platforms and via limited-edition vinyl and deluxe box sets.
