In October 2024, One Direction, their fans, and the entire music industry were heartbroken when it was reported that Liam Payne had died. Of course, this led many to wonder if the band would finally reunite after 10 years in his honor, but a reunion doesn’t feel right at this point. Over the years, many acts have done this, including Pantera, who brought on friends of their late bandmates, the Rolling Stones, carrying on without drummer Charlie Watts, and AC/DC continuing after Bon Scott had died.
