Liam Payne has revealed his plans to meet up with former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan, so they can ‘square’ a few things up.
For five years Liam, 31, and Niall, 31, were two of the five members of the iconic X-Factor grown boyband One Direction.
The band ‘went on hiatus’ in 2015 and have since embarked upon their solo careers, carving out paths of their own in their varying genres.
Liam has now revealed that he is set to reunite with Niall in Argentina as he is set to visit him on tour.
‘Niall Horan is playing down there and I think we might just go down there to say “helloooo”.
‘Um, it’s been a while since me and Niall have spoken, we’ve got a lot to talk about. And I would like to square up a couple of things with the boy.’
Emphasising that there is no bad blood between them, the singer added: ‘No bad vibes or anything like that but we need to talk.’
In 2022, Liam took part in the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul and made some controversial comments about his former bandmates as he suggested that he and Louis Tomlinson ‘hated’ each during One Direction fame.
He also claimed that he was ‘thrown up against a wall’ by a fellow bandmate, and told them: ‘If you don’t remove those hands there’s a high likelihood you’ll never use them again.’
Additionally, he said of former bandmate Zayn Malik: ‘There’s many reasons why I dislike Zayn and there’s many reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side.’
The singer was later snapped at the gig in Argentina, and fans shared a video of the star dancing and singing along to the song Summer Lovin’ from the musical Grease.
The singer hung over the railing from the box to chat with fans and serenade them as they recorded him.
He was later seen singing along as Niall sang One Direction’s hit song Stockholm Syndrome and was seen outside of the venue signing autographs for fans.
It’s unclear if Liam and Niall chatted after the concert, or if they did indeed manage to ‘square’ anything away.
Liam visited Argentina with his girlfriend, TikToker Kate Cassidy, who he has been linked to for some time.
This isn’t the first time that members of One Direction have reached out to support one another since the band split.
Harry Styles snuck into Niall’s show in Manchester earlier this year and could be seen enjoying the music as he danced with his mother in the VIP box.
Niall has been snapped attending Harry’s Love on Tour concert and Louis has also been seen supporting Niall at one of his tours in the past.
Niall’s international concert tour The Show: Live on Tour began in Belfast in February 2024 and is set to conclude in Bogotá, Colombia in October 2024.
