Zayn Malik has made a surprising return to One Direction nearly a decade after departing the band. The 32-year-old singer is now an active director at PPM Music Limited, the company’s official registry document revealed.
Zayn Malik’s Rejoining and Current Role
Documents filed with Companies House on November 3 show that Zayn Malik holds the title of ‘Active Director’ alongside his former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan. All band members have the same central London address listed, currently associated with Lee and Thompson LLP, a prominent law firm known for its expertise in music and media law.
Recent Events Triggering Reunion
The news comes in the wake of Liam Payne’s tragic passing, which has reportedly reunited the members. A music industry source has indicated that while this moment is filled with sadness, it has also fostered communication among the group. Liam was an advocate for a potential reunion and often expressed his desire to see the band come together again.
Background on One Direction and PPM
