One Directionwill reportedly record their fourth studio album on the road during their epic 2014 stadium tour.

Despite their [uuid=18585a9a-e63d-41d8-827c-7992ac200c85]third LP Midnight Memories[/uuid] not being release until November, attention has already turned to the X Factor group's next record, with The Sun claiming they will be touring with a mobile studio in order to complete the fresh tracks.

A source said: "One Direction will travel with their own studio in tow when they play stadium dates.

“It’s going to cost a few quid but then, considering the amount of cash they’re making on the tour, they can afford it.

“The boys are all writing more and more themselves these days so it will allow them to develop as songwriters.

“Because of the shows across the globe they’ll have no time out to record so this is the best way to get the fourth album done."

They added: "It was all [uuid=4356cd33-d1d6-4dcc-af28-42fb7c567d80]worked out as part of the deal [/uuid]they did with Simon Cowell and Syco records earlier this month.”

The lads will be hoping 1D bandmate Louis Tomlinson recovers from his recent health woes after the star tweeted that [uuid=a2fefbb2-c6c0-4ce5-a156-23d58aa6bd06]he had 'lost his voice' [/uuid]ahead of their gig in Australia yesterday (September 29).

Midnight Memories is due for release on November 25.
