One Direction are reportedly in talks to reunite at the 2025 BRIT Awards for a “special tribute” to Liam Payne.
The singer died at the age of 31 after falling from a third floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina last October, after which Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik all honoured their late bandmate.
Having last been seen together at the Story Of My Life hitmaker’s funeral, the four-piece are said to be in discussions to appear on stage at The O2, London on March 1 for this year’s awards ceremony.
Sources close to the band tell The Sun: “The tribute to Liam at this year’s awards show has caused a real buzz and speculation that the remaining One Direction bandmates could finally come back together again on stage.
“It would be an entirely fitting way to honour Liam and talks are already under way about how to make this segment of the Brits unforgettable.”
It was also reported that the tribute to Liam will include performances, a photo montage, and a live orchestra.
Sources add: “Liam loved the BRIT Awards and attended and performed many times over the years, both with One Direction and as a solo artist, and will forever be part of the show’s history.
“As well as the possibility of the One Direction lads being involved, other stars from the industry will be on hand to remember Liam on the night.”
At the time of writing, there has been no official confirmation from representatives of the BRITs or One Direction regarding their potential appearance.
