BRITS bosses are planning a special tribute to One Direction singer Liam Payne at this year’s awards ceremony. And it could mean his former bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are reunited on stage for the first time since their split ten years ago.

A music industry source said: “The tribute to Liam at this year’s awards show has caused a real buzz and speculation that the remaining One Direction bandmates could finally come back together again on stage. “It would be an entirely fitting way to honour Liam and talks are already under way about how to make this segment of the Brits unforgettable.

“Liam loved the Brit Awards and attended and performed many times over the years, both with 1D and as a solo artist, and will forever be part of the show’s history. “It’s still in the very early stages of preparation and the finer details are still being worked out, with official approaches to be made in coming weeks, but there are set to be a mixture of performances, tasteful photo and video montages and a live orchestra.

“As well as the possibility of the One Direction lads being involved, other stars from the industry will be on hand to remember Liam on the night.”. Liam died aged 31 in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires.
