One Direction reunion conversation “hasn’t happened”, says Niall Horan
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 9 June 2023
The members of One Direction are all still great mates and talk all the time, according to Niall Horan. But you know what they don’t ever talk about? Reforming the band. Not once. Not ever.
“It’s just like the conversation hasn’t happened”, Horan told Zane Lowe in a new interview for Apple Music 1.
Asked by Lowe if the question of a reunion “sucks the air out of the room”, Horan said: “No, I don’t think it sucks the air out the room. It’s more, the answer’s still the same. The conversation hasn’t happened. We speak regularly, but that conversation hasn’t happened”.
That’s not to say that the conversation won’t happen one day, though. And Horan seems confident that the group will get back together in some capacity in the future.
On that, he added: “God knows what it ends up being. It could be like the ‘Friends’ reunion, it could be a whole tour. God knows what it is, but it hasn’t been spoken about”.
The ‘Friends’ reunion, of course, was a one-off TV show where the cast members looked back on the show, rather than getting back together for a new episode. And speaking of friends, Horan assures us that the members of 1D will always be best buds no matter what, telling Lowe: “[The friendship] can’t go anywhere. That bond is there”.
So that’s nice. Maybe it’s enough to know that One Direction still all chat jovially without ever addressing the elephant in the room. I’m sure it’s plenty.
