The world shifted a little when the beloved boy band One Direction disbanded. The directions could not believe that the boys parted ways after creating tons of memories with their music, moments, and love. Stephen Hawking consoled the girls by saying that Zayn Malik would still be in One Direction in some other universe. While we still hold out hope that the boys will reunite, the members are releasing new music individually.
In 2022, Harry Styles released ‘Harry’s House,’ which proved to be a commercial banger. The album won the ‘Best Album of the Year’ award at the Grammys in 2023. On the heels of that, Niall Horan announced that he will be releasing a new album titled ‘The Show’ on June 9, 2023. Now, the disgraced ex-member of the band, Liam Payne, has hinted at releasing a new album.

He continued, “I’ve been making an album for a change, which is quite fun, and it’s been good, so I’m excited to bring it out, and I definitely want to tour this time. It’s just unusual because I wasn’t sure I was going to tour for a long time.”

It was a problem.” He said, “And it was only until I saw myself after that I was like, ‘Right, I need to fix myself.’ “ During his drinking phase, he had a “pills-and-booze face. My face was just, like, 10 times more than it is now. I just didn’t like myself very much, and then I made a change.”
