Simon Cowell (center) with One Direction
Music mogul Simon Cowell believes that, somewhere, sometime along the way, the boys of the pop band One Direction will share the stage once more.
“I just think the legacy is too big not to go back to at one point,” he said of the group—
which he helped create in 2010 as a judge in “The X Factor.”
“They have enough songs,” he told “Entertainment Tonight.” “I didn’t realize how many hits they have had.”
The members of 1D—Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne—are all pursuing solo careers. But Simon would love to see them back together, he said, even if only for a concert series.
“When they do get back together it will be a huge event. But look, they’re all doing their own thing and they’re all being successful. But I have a feeling it will happen,” Simon said. “I really do. I would love it to happen.” —ALLAN POLICARPIO
