Louis Tomlinson Reacts: Surprised by Potential One Direction Reunion

Upcoming Album Release

The artist is set to unveil his third album, *How Did I Get Here?*, on January 23 of next year. During discussions about the album, he was asked if witnessing the Oasis reunion this summer in Cardiff sparked any interest in reuniting with One Direction.

Reflections on Reunion

He confessed that seeing Oasis perform did evoke some nostalgia, but he believes people often romanticize the idea without acknowledging the reality. He remarked, “That was one of the first feelings I got when I was there.”

Complex Feelings After Loss

The singer noted that the idea of reuniting is now “infinitely more complicated” given the unfortunate passing of Liam Payne last year. “Right now, I can’t foresee a time where I would actually feel comfortable doing that,” he shared.

The Dynamic with Former Bandmates

He expressed that reconvening with Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik would feel “almost like something else.” He used to think that they might collaborate on a big show someday, but following Liam’s death, his perspective has shifted. “I also kind of love that the last time we were on stage together, Liam was there. That’s just so perfect,” he added poignantly.

Future Collaborations

Even if a full-scale reunion does not happen, fans can look forward to an upcoming documentary series featuring Tomlinson and Malik. This project, available on Netflix next year, promises an intimate glimpse into their lives and their renewed friendship.

What to Expect from the Documentary

This three-part series, directed by Nicola Marsh, will follow the two former One Direction members on a spontaneous journey across the United States. It will offer a rare insight into their personal lives and evolving relationship.

The documentary will cover themes such as life, love, loss, and fatherhood, according to the press release.

Insights on New Music

Alongside his documentary project, Tomlinson’s third album aims to reflect his growth and confidence. He indicated that the new music will take listeners “on a journey from the mildly dark sonic place” of his last album, *Faith in the Future*, to a more uplifting sound.
