One Direction's Niall thanks fans after band's Billboard Music Awards success

Four-piece boyband One Direction picked up the Top Duo/Group and Top Touring Act gongs at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas yesterday (May 17) and Irish member Niall Horan has thanked fans for being so incredibly supportive. 

The heartthrob took to his official Twitter page this evening and explained that he was overwhelmed by his band's success at the ceremony and wanted to thank everyone for getting them to where they are today: 

"Thank you so much for winning those awards for us, we love you so much. We had such a great time at the awards and a sickkk night after!"

Singer Harry Styles shared a similar sentiment with his online following earlier this morning and tweeted: "Thank you to the @OfficialBBMAs for having us tonight. We wouldn't have won without everyone who supports us. Thank you."
