Niall Horan, who is known for his chart-topping hit tracks, seemingly tried to end the debate of fandom who speculate about One Direction comeback.

The 32-year-old singer and other members have been rumoured to be reuniting after going on an indefinite hiatus in 2015.

As the musicians have carved out their separate pathways, the Kiss You crooner debunked the ongoing speculation while giving an interview to The Sunday Times.

He highlighted their solo careers, sharing: “I mean look at Harry there, look at Louis, the boys are flying.”

The singer added about the buzz, gushing in the statement: “God knows… but everyone still asks about it, it’s exciting.”

Niall noticeably skipped mentioning their fifth member, Zayn Malik, who was the first to break free from the boy band on July 29, 2025.

However, the Heaven songmaker is releasing his own album Dinner Party which is set to drop on June 5, 2026.

On the other hand, Zayn recently cancelled his tour which was in support of his studio record KONNAKOL due to unknown medical emergency.

Harry hit the road solo as part of his global residency tour to back his newly launched Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
