There’s been a lot of talk about a One Direction lately. While it’s safe to assume that some are willing to entertain the idea, it’s not going to happen anytime soon.
Why you asked? It’s because there is still some bad blood between certain people – namely Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik.
One Direction went on a hiatus in 2016, approximately a year after Zayn quit the boyband. Since then, all the lads have gone on to pursue solo careers. Zayn later admitted that he deliberately distanced himself from Louis, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, save for the occasional chit-chat with Liam Payne.
During a recent interview, Louis was asked if he would be open to Zayn rejoining the band and make amends. “I just don’t think I am mature enough, even in my own head, to give that a real answer. At the moment, I am still pretty mad about the whole thing. I don’t think he handled it very well. But never say never. Who knows? He chatted a lot of shit in the early days. I thought One Direction were pretty good,” the Brit replied.

Louis and Zayn had reportedly reconnected briefly after Louis’ mother, Johannah Deakin, died. Sadly, the former revealed that their relationship “never really got better”. 3 days after Johannah’s death, Louis returned to “The X-Factor UK” stage to perform. His former bandmates all came to support – except Zayn.
“All the boys had agreed to come to that performance and he didn’t show, so that really bugged me. … I’ve got goosebumps now. It was just seeing everyone there — Harry, Niall, and Liam—that was what I needed that night, that support. So on the other end of the spectrum, it kind of really showed,” he previously said.
On reflecting about his time in One Direction, the 27-year-old star recalled why their last show was so special. “That last tour we did a show in Sheffield, which is 20 minutes from where I live so it was a special show for me anyway, and I got this amazing footage from one of my phones of a time-lapse in my dressing room on the whole last day of the tour,” he said.
The pop star continued, “There was a moment where me and Niall just sat on the sofa and kind of took it all in and had a moment to ourselves. It was pretty heavy.”
Louis will be dropping his debut album “Walls” on 31st January 2020. He’s also embarking on his first solo tour in 2020. It’ll be a 43-stop tour that kicks off in Barcelona in March.
