Of course, this prompted rumors that a reunion of sorts could happen.
The band announced their hiatus in 2016, and Liam himself recently fueled reunion rumors in an interview a few days ago, saying, “We’ve got a ten-year anniversary coming up, so we’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks, which has been really nice.”
It sounds like we MIGHT need to prepare ourselves for a One Direction reunion…
Earlier this week, Liam Payne hinted that the guys have something in store for the band’s upcoming 10-year anniversary and fans have been freaking out.
“We’ve got a ten-year anniversary coming up so we’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks which has been really nice. To hear a lot of people’s voices and seeing old content and different things that we haven’t seen for a long time or never seen before, it’s very interesting,” Liam told The Sun.
He continued, “At the moment I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say. There’s a number of different things that we are all working on to try and make happen and people are forwarding emails around. But more than anything it’s just been a real good time for us to connect together again.â€
One Direction‘s 10-year anniversary takes place on July 23rd.
We’re so glad 1D is talking again and have our fingers crossed for something big!
Liam Payne is spilling on the game One Direction used to play when they didn’t want to do any more work.
The 26-year-old musician says that the guys – Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan – would use a code word when they didn’t want to do something and would all simultaneously fall to the floor.
“I remember that game,” Liam said while re-watching the “History” music video. “When we didn’t want to go somewhere, obviously we had so many things to do in a day and it was so boring at points, we’d have a code word and we’d all fall to the floor and lie there until everybody went away.”
He added, “I think that’s the best game we ever invented. Yes, those were some grown adults who ran a business once. I don’t know how this worked honestly! There was a number of code words…We’d do it in the middle of TV interviews! It’s like one of those games you have with your friends – if you don’t follow through, you’re the loser in the group so everyone would just do it. So bad! I don’t know how we were a success.”
Listen to all that Liam had to say about the game at 5:53…
The 26-year-old “Adore You” star dialed into The Morning Mash Up aired on SiriusXM Hits 1 hosted by Nicole Ryan, Ryan Sampson and Stanley T on SiriusXM Hits 1.
During the call, he revealed what he’s been up to in quarantine.
“I’m with people who have real jobs, so they’re working…which leaves me with not a real job, doing kind of whatever. I’m reading a lot, doing a lot of writing, trying to exercise, trying to be outside. And then we kind of all get together in the evening and watch a film,” he explained.
He also provided an update on the “Watermelon Sugar” music video, as well as the idea of hopping on a Zoom with the One Direction boys for a quick reunion.
The 26-year-old “Heartbreak Weather” crooner shared that he only misses certain parts of being in the band.
“Sometimes when you’ll be at a gig or something had happened and it would remind you of something that happened onstage years ago, like, ‘Oh, jeez. I wish the boys were here to see that.’” Niall told Apple Music.
“Random … I don’t know. Something might happen random in the crowd or an interview in a foreign country might turn a corner and it might’ve happened before or something like that and it’ll just remind me. And I’ll just start laughing or something, but yeah. There are times. Certain parts of it.”
“Probably the only thing we don’t talk about is music. And it’s our own fault because we’ve all ended up releasing music around the same time. And I’ve had people coming up to me, like mates of mine who know me really well and saying, ‘Is this some sort of publicity stunt that all of you are releasing tunes at the same time?’ We were just like … It’s the only thing that we don’t talk about, is that,” Niall said.
“I remember, at one point, there was five out of seven weeks there was a One Direction member releasing a tune or something like that, at one point last year. And I was just like, ‘Jesus, we should’ve probably talked about this.’”
The Heartbreak Weather singer recently checked out the “Yummy” crooner’s 10-part Seasons documentary on YouTube.
“To be fair, we had each other and I don’t think people realize the power of that,” Niall told Glamour about being in One Direction.
“You see solo stars — I watched Justin Bieber’s new docuseries and he’s a guy I know quite well and you can see how it affected him,” Niall continued. “People didn’t realize the pressure he was under. I can relate to that 100 percent.”
“We were always lucky that we had each other,” Niall added. “He had his manager and his security guy. We had our manager and our security team, but we also had each other to share the experience with. I always felt sorry for Justin in that respect.â€
“We came from simple backgrounds and I think we had that in common which helped,” Niall said. “When it was all going on around us we were just kind of in our little bubble, chatting about how crazy it is. We couldn’t believe where we were all the time, we never really saw ourselves as these big celebrities that was more of an outsider looking in type thing. We were just in this little fishbowl having a great time. All the madness was going on around us.â€
