The members of One Direction finally reunited, however, their reunion did not happen as their fans had hoped, as unfortunately the events took place at the funeral of Liam Payne, one of the members of the boyband, who lost his life after falling from the third floor of the hotel where he was staying in Argentina.
On October 16th, the news of the sudden death of Liam Payne at 31 years old shook the world. The singer fell from his room at the Hotel Casa Sur, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Autopsies and reports from authorities indicated that he was under the influence of illicit substances at the time of the incident.
Directioners from all over the world, as well as celebrities and loved ones of the 'Teardrops' singer, publicly expressed their grief over the event and honored Liam's memory with heartfelt statements and sent their condolences to his son Bear, who is only 7 years old.
The reunion of One Direction happened at Liam Payne's funeral.
In 2016, the members of One Direction decided to take a break from their activities as a group and began their solo careers. After this decision, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Harry Styles were involved in several conflicts and scandals, so they preferred to keep their distance.
After what happened, Directioners were eager for the singers to reunite to sing together the songs that catapulted them to fame, a fact that finally happened, but in completely different circumstances, as Louis, Niall, Zayn, and Harry met again at Liam Payne's funeral.
Photographs of the event that took place at St. Mary's Church in Amersham began circulating on the internet. The artist's coffin arrived in a carriage with white horses amidst floral arrangements.
In addition to One Direction, Liam's family and friends, as well as his girlfriend Kate Cassidy and celebrities like Simon Cowell and James Corden, were present at the singer's final farewell.
