There are two covers for fans to collect
“Check out my covers for @AttitudeMag,” he tweeted.
However, fans were divided over the shots, which featured too many items of clothing for some people’s liking:
While other members of the 1D fandom were in meltdown as usual:
“This is my favorite song off the last album, and it is about trying to find that number one woman of your life... which none of you can relate to, because most of you are girls," he said.
“Except for the boys in here, you know what I’m talking about.”
As many critisc slammed his comments, Liam spoke out to defend himself, insisting he was “sorry to those he offended”.
He posted on Twitter: “I am in no way shape or form homophobic that's a [ridiculous] thing to say and I'm not here to offend people so take it as you will…
“It was meant in general.”
The latest issue of Attitude magazine hits shelves on Wednesday 16 September.
