At the end of 2015, Directioners were completely distraught because after Zayn Malik left the band, the rest of the members Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan went on an indefinite hiatus as well after the release of their fifth album, Made in the A.M. It's been years since the hiatus and the bandmates aren't thinking about a reunion anytime soon. The fandom is relying on the fleeting reunions between any of the members through the means of social media and music festivals.
In a recent interview, Louis got completely honest about his current relationship with the rest of One Direction. "I think all the boys would agree with this. There have been moments in all of our lives where naturally some of us speak to others more than others. I wouldn't say I’m closest to any of the boys. Recently, I’ve probably spoken to Liam 10 times as much as I spoke to the other lads. Six months ago, that was Niall," Tomlinson said.
Meanwhile, in an earlier interview, Liam had revealed that him and Louis could not stand each other when they first became a boyband. "He was wanting to be the leader and I was doing my thing and wanted to. So at first, we didn't get on at all. We absolutely hated each other, it was so funny. Really bad. We hid it well," Payne said.
Louis' debut album Walls will release on 31st January 2020.
