One Direction, often shortened to 1D, are an English-Irish pop boy band formed in London in 2010. The group was composed of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne who tragically died October 16th 2024.
Zayn departed from the group in March 2015, the band was active as a four piece until 2016.
Right now each of the boys have their own solo careers. Harry, Zayn and Niall have released three albums, Louis released two albums and Liam only released one album.
Though it's not all about music for some of the boys! Liam, Louis and Zayn are fathers, Liam and Louis have sons whilst Zayn had a daughter! Niall was a voice coach on The Voice 2023 and Harry has starred in movies such as Dunkirk, My Policeman and Don't Worry, Darling. Harry also had a cameo in Eternals.
1D and me: I started following the band during their x-factor days as I live in England and pretty much had a lot of access to them (not in a stalker way). I only had one of their albums: Take Me Home, but who needs albums when you have spotify, eh? I had a few pieces of merch here and there... Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to see them in concert.. sad.
my favourite 1D songs:Last First Kiss, Diana, Olivia, Night Changes, Stockholm Syndrome, Gotta Be You, Rock Me, I Would, Strong, Fool's Gold, Pefect, History.
This is a short shrine, I loved the band very much as they were a huge part of my teen years. I am extremely sad to hear about Liam's passing. He will be very missed, especially by his friends, family, fans and of course, his son, Bear.
