"Unbelievable experience tonight… massive thanks to @sallywood @ronniewood and @therollingstones a great gig…and for being so nice tonight," he wrote.Rocker Ronnie returned the compliment, sharing a photo taken with Niall and Harry. "Great to see you tonight @NiallOfficial & @Harry_Styles - glad you enjoyed the show! :)"A source said, "One Direction are massive Rolling Stones fans, especially Niall and Harry, and when they heard they were in town there was no way they were going to miss seeing them play.
"The fact they got backstage and got to meet their heroes meant their night couldn't have gone any better. They had an incredible night. "Niall and Harry, both 19, weren't the only stars who turned up to see the English rock band perform in the capital. Lenny Kravitz was spotted grinning from ear-to-ear as he arrived at the arena, clearly excited to see a group who have had a big influence on his own music.
