One Direction member Liam Payne has addressed those ever-circulating rumours that they could due to reunite, after starting their hiatus in January 2016. Liam Payne posted a photo recently, which his fans took to be a hint that they might reunite, and he has now addressed the rumours.

Speaking to Australian website PEDESTRIAN.TV, the 'For You' singer was asked about the future on the boy band to which he replied, "I think I have been asked that question more than any other band member. I don’t know why people think I am like the spokesman at the moment. I am like Captain America answering all the questions."

However, he went on to explain that he would love to get back with the boys, but he's cautious saying, "Me personally as me, I would love to get back together at some point. I think when it is all comfortable for everyone else. Rushing these things is how things get messed up."

It was about a month ago that One Direction fans first thought that Liam Payne's cryptic Instagram post meant a reunion was on the horizon. Uploading a photo of himself, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, when they were just starting out, Liam simply captioned the snap, '1000 days'.

Then, just a week later, the 'For You' singer caused another stir when he was photographed carrying some artwork of the original five boys, AND having dinner with one of the band's songwriters!

However, despite all of these things happening, it looks like fans will have to wait longer for a reunion as Liam continued in the interview, "We made such great success and that comes at a cost and I think we need to take that into account. I think we will all benefit by getting to know ourselves a bit better rather than ourselves within the band and I have always said this."
