The show must go on!

One Direction brush video controversy aside as they resume Where We Are stadium tour in Sunderland
One Direction pushed their recent spate of controversial headlines to one side on Wednesday evening as they invested their collective energies into a lively performance in the north east of England.
The pop sensations are reeling after shocking video footage emerged of band-member Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson smoking a dubious looking roll-up while en route to a show in Peru during the South- American leg of their 2014 stadium tour.
Taking to the stage at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, both singers looked distracted as they joined Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Payne.
The band are currently working their way through the European leg of their mammoth Where We Are tour, which sees them take in 69 shows at key venues across Europe, North America and South America.
Despite the controversy that could, potentially, derail their trip to the United States this August, the hit-makers were on form as they entertained thousands of fans at the football stadium on Wednesday evening.
The 23-track set list – comprised of songs from their three album back catalogue – went down well, and the emergence of today’s footage, while not entirely forgotten, was casually dismissed by those in attendance.
Sporting a denim jacket over a grey hooded top and white T-shirt, Zayn, 21, hunched over his microphone as he joined the band in their latest performance.
Louis looked subdued in a black T-shirt and matching skinny jeans, his numerous tattoos on display as he moved from one side of the stage to the other.
At one point the two singers conversed while sipping from bottles of mineral water before continuing with the show.
In video footage that has sent shockwaves around the world and stunned the band’s millions of teenage and impressionable fans, Louis narrates from behind the camera, laughingly announcing, ‘So here we are, leaving  Peru. Joint lit. Happy days!’
‘What do you think about that kind of content?’ he asks Zayn, who is alongside him in the SUV ferrying them to Peru’s Estadio Nacional in Lima where One Direction performed to a 40,000 capacity crowd on April 27 as part of their ‘Where We Are’ tour. ‘Very controversial,’ Zayn, who is seen puffing on a ‘joint’, responds.
Disgruntled parents voiced their concerns about the footage shortly before One Direction took to the stage in Sunderland.
Julie Talbott, from Sunderland, who was taking daughter Emma, 16, to the band’s gig said: ‘It is disgusting. It is completely wrong, they get paid so much money and they spend it on drugs.
‘It is a bad message for children, I have heard kids talking in the queue saying it is all right. They think if the boys do it then they can do it. I could kill them as they have taken over my daughter’s life for three years and she would never do it but it is worrying’.
Mentor, the alcohol and drug protection charity said: ‘Zayn and Louis have a great opportunity to be a good role model for young people but they blow it here. ‘We hope their young fans are not swayed by their example’.
