In the wake of Liam Payne’s death in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 16, there were reportedly discussions between all five members of One Direction about reuniting for one final performance.
Now, with Payne gone, the remaining members – Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – can gather once again to honor their late friend.
An insider told Us Weekly, “The guys really want to remember Liam. They’re all so heartbroken right now, they can’t even consider it a legitimate project, but it’s been discussed. “
The news of Payne’s death has deeply affected the remaining members, the source said, adding: “Liam’s death was a wake-up call for them. Before that, they kept in touch sporadically but There was no camaraderie at all.β
“They’re all still mourning but are checking in on each other and feel closer than they have in years. It’s brought them back together.”
Malik left the band in 2015 to focus on his solo career and the four also decided to take a break and announced an indefinite hiatus shortly after. Since then, One Direction have rarely been seen together.
From the first note to the last encore, you brought light, joy, and solidarity to millions of lives. The bond you shared and the legacy you created will live on forever in the hearts of Guides around the world. Thank you One Direction β€οΈ #LiamPaynepic.twitter.com/2Wl8i8BMN2

But Styles, Tomlinson, Malik and Horan came together to pay their respects at Payne’s funeral last month.
The 31-year-old man tragically passed away after a fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina.
The incident from the balcony may not have been a deliberate jump as initially thought but a desperate attempt to flee before falling to his death.
Multiple sources, including witness statements, official police reports, emergency 911 calls and surveillance recordings, have painted a picture of the father causing a ruckus in the hotel lobby while clearly is drunk.
Payne was escorted back to his room by three hotel staff members shortly after, only to meet his untimely death soon after.
After reviewing recent evidence, reports indicate that Payne was believed to have been alert and capable of supporting his weight while standing immediately before the incident. It was discovered that the “Strip That Down” singer had ingested multiple substances at the time of his death.
