It’s devastating to know that Liam wanted a 1D reunion so badly, more than any of the guys, and THIS is what got them to reunite, at least via a group message.
It’s such a tragic situation and becomes more tragic with each news update.

late reply but damn did "Liam wanted a 1D reunion so badly, more than any of the guys, and THIS is what got them to reunite" hit me right in the feels. Very apt.

My heart breaks for Louis and everyone else who loved him. When one of your peers die, it just changes you forever.

Louis lost his mom and his sister and now his best friend, poor guy :(

There’s something about this that sort of feels like hearing about an old schoolmate dying? I was a fan of One Direction since X-Factor, it just feels very surreal and also makes me consider my own mortality and then people around me who are really struggling right now given how shit the world is right now.

Love to the band, this will follow them for a while. Wasn’t Harry meant to release an album next week? I wonder if he will push it back

There were rumors that he was going to release a single today, but nothing confirmed.

There’s a video of Liam at Niall’s show where he said to a fan that zayn is doing well and he’s going on tour and he said “I’m so proud of him.” That really got me.

I shouldn't have read this because I am tearing up at work. These babies grew up together, it must be so devastating...even if someone isn't in your life as much their impact on you is still huge
