Age

Run into some confusion as there are conflicting reports on this. For example, these sources from summer 2012 [1] [2] [3] state he was 18 at the time and had recently left school. – Starklinson 07:10 UTC

@Starklinson: I'd be more inclined to believe that he was older than 23, especially since the band members are of that age too. His birthday is definitely 5 February though, there are multiple Tweets that confirm it, eg one example. – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 11:59, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DarkGlow: Don't disagree there. I suppose that would make his birth year 1994? Just a few days younger than Harry Styles. – Starklinson 01:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Additional source: this from 9 February in local paper [4] also claims he is 27. – Starklinson 09:30, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Starklinson: I'd say he is 27 with all these WP:RS saying as such. I'd also remove the dubious tag now since it seems to be concrete to me. Well done with finding the sourcing! – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 21:40, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

his birthday is 05 February 1993. I went to primary school with him and he was in my class 86.157.132.41 (talk) 23:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did find this [5] which suggests '93 – Starklinson 04:53, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Starklinson: That's a good source for adding family info to the early life section too
