One Direction member Liam Payne has addressed those ever-circulating rumours that they could due to reunite, after starting their hiatus in January 2016. Liam Payne posted a photo recently, which his fans took to be a hint that they might reunite, and he has now addressed the rumours.
Speaking to Australian website PEDESTRIAN.TV, the 'For You' singer was asked about the future on the boy band to which he replied, "I think I have been asked that question more than any other band member. I don’t know why people think I am like the spokesman at the moment. I am like Captain America answering all the questions."
However, he went on to explain that he would love to get back with the boys, but he's cautious saying, "Me personally as me, I would love to get back together at some point. I think when it is all comfortable for everyone else. Rushing these things is how things get messed up."
One Direction formed on The X Factor in 2010. All five members auditioned as individual contestants and were put together as a group by Simon Cowell.
