One Direction fans have been begging for some kind of reunion since they split up back in 2016.<\/p>\n
The band, who sold more than 70 million records worldwide, became an almost overnight phenomenon when they first appeared on The X Factor back in 2010.<\/p>\n
But, after their split, the members all began solo careers, with Harry Styles catapulting himself to the top of the charts with three number-one albums.<\/p>\n
He has since headlined Wembley Stadium, and countless other stadiums around the globe. As a result, Louis Walsh believes Harry “does not need” any kind of One Direction reunion in the coming years.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to Alex Apati of Ladbrokes LIVE, Walsh said: “Harry was always going to be this pop star. He doesn’t need a reunion. He’s a star in his own right.”<\/p>\n

Harry Styles doesn’t need it. It’s like how George Michael didn’t need Wham!, Robbie [Williams] didn’t need Take That. They might just do it for a TV show or a charity event, or something like that. But that’ll be it.”<\/p>\n The former X Factor judge went on to speak about Zayn Malik and his solo music, as well.<\/p>\n Zayn was the first member of the boy band to release his own music but has since gone quiet in recent years.<\/p>\n “I’m surprised Zayn [Malik] hasn’t brought out more music,” Louis confessed. “Because I thought he was very talented. Maybe in time, we’ll see them get back together, but I don’t see it.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
