AceShowbiz - One Direction is set to be reunited in grief at the funeral of Liam Payne. The surviving members of the pop boyband, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, are expected to "reform" for the first time since their split to mourn the death of their bandmate.
RadarOnline.com reports that the foursome may sing a moving tribute at the service. While there's still no word on a musical farewell that they may send to their late pal, the death of Liam may usher in a short reunion tour with the remaining members.
"It is such sad news and it has shocked the world. Aside from that, I do think that the members will do something to celebrate his life and pay tribute to him," a source told the site. "I can't see a full-scale tour, but I could see something along the lines of a show, a new track/ song and even something for his son, Bear. I feel that they will want to do something. It could also be one those things of a like a final performance/ time for them to do something together...something special."
Liam's funeral is expected to take place next week in the United Kigdom after his body was flown from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he died, to the United Kingdom. His body was expected to arrive in the U.K. on Wednesday, November 6. The funeral will be held in St Paul's Cathedral in Wolverhampton.
Liam died on October 16 after he fell from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires. Security footage which captured the fatal fall reportedly shows the musician losing consciousness just before the incident, suggesting he was unconscious when he fell from the balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
