Fans of Niall Horan are in turmoil after the singer looks to have gone back to his brunette roots.
The 22-year-old, who was dressed in head-to-toe black arriving in Los Angeles, put his fans into a frenzy as the Mullingar man hid his blonde locks under a cap – alluding that he has dyed his hair.
Ringing social media alarm bells, the twitter-verse went into meltdown as fans asked “brunette Niall rise” after “brunette Niall” trended online.

The Story of My Life singer previously suggested he would dye his hair when his band went on hiatus.
Speaking to Fabulous magazine last year, the West Meath native admitted if he was to go back to his roots, no one would notice him.
“I did think about [dyeing] my hair brown so I won’t get [recognised], but I genuinely believe that if I’m on my own with my mates from home, no one will give me a second look,” he said.
