Felicite Tomlinson gets tattoo tribute to brother Louis in final YouTube post
Appearing at the Free Radio Hits Live concert at the Arena Birmingham, Louis, 27, will be among a star-studded line-up including Ellie Goulding, Zara Larsson and The Vamps.
It will be Louis' first performance since Felicite's death from a suspected heart attack last month.
Aspiring fashion designer Felicite, 18, was found dead at her home in Earls Court, West London, on March 13.
Louis was left "devastated" by the tragedy - which came after his mum Johannah died from leukaemia in 2016.

Sources close to the singer said he was "distraught" - while his late sister was described as "lovable, caring, bright and beautiful."
The bereavement meant Louis was forced to pull out of his planned appearance on Comic Relief.
Host Lenny Henry delivered a touching tribute on the show, saying: "All the love and best wishes go out to Louis and his family at this terrible time."
Free Radio announced Louis was joining the lineup for the Birmingham concert on Facebook yesterday.
A post said: "We’re so excited to announce that Louis Tomlinson is joining us at #FreeRadioHitsLive and we can’t wait to show him our love and support him this May!"
