One Direction star Louis Tomlinson performed his debut solo track 'Just Hold On' live last night for only the second time since it was released.

Louis was a guest on the popular The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in America alongside Steve Aoki, and the pair blew the roof off with their performance of the hit track.

Check it out below:

Their performance was the first time the track had been performed live in the US, and only the second time in history.

Of course the first time the pair performed the new song live was at The X Factor final back in December 2016.

Louis was praised for his bravery after taking to the stage just a few days after the sad passing of his mum Johannah Deakin. The 42-year-old lost her battle with leukemia, but urged Louis to carry out the performance in tribute to her.

After the emotional performance, Louis' former boss Simon Cowell praised the 25-year-old. Holding back the tears he said, "Louis, what you've just done and the bravery that took, I just respect you so much as an artist and as a person. Your mum was so looking forward to tonight and I know she is watching down on you now. She was so proud of you."

Watch the emotional performance below:

'Just Hold On' proved to be a massive hit with fans and reached number one in 43 countries.
