Liam Payne 'desperate for a One Direction reunion and trying to contact Harry Styles'
ok.co.ukOne Direction fans could have their prayers answered in the coming months, as Liam Payne is reportedly "desperate" to get the band back together.
Days after the 29-year-old X Factor alumnus was seen laughing with former bandmate Louis Tomlinson at the premiere of his documentary, All Of Those Voices, a source has revealed that Liam wants nothing more than a reunion tour to relaunch his career. "Liam is desperate to get back on the road with the boys," they explained. "His solo career hasn’t remained as successful as he hoped it would, and work has become stagnant for him. "In contrast, he can see how well Harry is doing and he’d love that level of stardom for himself. "He knows he’s somewhat fallen out of favour with the public, and believes the only way he’ll be able to win back his fans is with a One Direction reunion," the source added.
Liam shot to fame in 2010 when music mogul Simon Cowell brought him and Louis together with their X Factor co-contestants Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Niall Horan to form One Direction.
