One Direction Bandmates Will Reunite For Liam Payne's Funeral This Week
A One Direction reunion is happening… but sadly not in the way anyone ever would have wanted.
Liam Payne is expected to be honored in a heartfelt ceremony in his hometown on Wednesday. According to The Sun on Tuesday, the funeral will be private and restricted to family and close friends. There will also be a wake after the service. An insider shared:
“Liam’s funeral is taking place tomorrow [Wednesday] afternoon in the Home Counties. His family have gone to great lengths to put together the perfect service and give him the send off he deserves.”

Addressing the “difficult” nature of the entire day for Liam’s parents, the insider continued:
“Liam may have been a global superstar but to Geoff and Karen he will always be their little boy. It is going to be an incredibly difficult day.”
It has already been reported that the Teardrops artist’s manager Roger Nores has not been invited. So at least that difficulty has been sorted.
But there will be something of a commotion, we expect. A One Direction reunion of sorts. Liam’s friends and bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan are all expected to be there. We’re sure that’s going to be such an emotional moment.
After postponing the US dates of his tour, Zayn pushed back the first two performances of his European leg, which was set to begin on the 20th, seemingly to be there for the funeral. Liam last saw Niall just days before his death while attending a concert in Argentina before ultimately falling to his death off his hotel balcony in mid-October. It’s unclear when he last saw or spoke to the other singers, but they all released emotional tributes in his honor.
Our thoughts will be with them as they mourn this loss. Hopefully, getting to come together for each other and Liam’s other loved ones will help as they process this unbelievable tragedy. This is certainly not how any Directioner wished to see these boys reunited, though.
