One Direction members Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik have decided against reuniting at the upcoming BRIT Awards to pay tribute to their late bandmate Liam Payne. An insider revealed that while they were offered a live performance at next month’s ceremony, they collectively declined, feeling the timing was not right.
The group also reportedly has no plans to attend the event, as they do not want to overshadow the tribute planned for Liam. BRITs host Jack Whitehall is expected to acknowledge the Teardrops singer’s passing, with a dedicated segment honoring his legacy.
“It has been an emotional time for the lads, and they felt a performance would be too much,” a source told the Daily Mail. “They have grieved in private and don’t see the need for a big public tribute.”
Despite fans’ hopes for a reunion, the insider emphasized that One Direction’s return is unlikely. “Zayn lives in America, and they are all at different places in their lives. A reunion is not on the cards at all,” they added.
Liam Payne passed away in October after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Argentina. He was 31.
