Zayn Malik follows Louis Tomlinson on Instagram: What happened between the One Direction stars? One Direction fans all over the world are rejoicing after some eagle-eyed admirers noticed that Zayn Malik quietly followed Louis Tomlinson on Instagram. The subtle gesture sparked frenzy due to its significance amid long-standing tensions between the former bandmates. Moreover, shortly after Zayn posted a rare selfie in a white tank top and black 'The Last Of Us' cap, marking his return to Instagram following his Stairway to the Sky tour. Louis, notably, liked the post. Fans were quick to speculate on whether this marked a meaningful shift. Once close bandmates in One Direction, Zayn and Louis had a well-documented fallout. Their Twitter spat in 2015, just months after Zayn left the band, made headlines when Louis tweeted at Zayn's collaborator Naughty Boy, prompting Zayn to respond directly with, 'Remember when you had a life and stopped making b*tchy comments about mine?' After the loss of Louis's mother in 2016, he revealed they briefly reconnected. Despite the attempt to mend things, Louis later admitted in 2019, 'Truthfully it never really got better.' However, recent years have shown signs of thawing tensions. In 2022, Zayn shared a video singing 'Night Changes,' prompting Louis to respond, 'It was great to see him reminiscing on the One Direction days.' By January 2025, Louis attended Zayn's LA concert, with Zayn acknowledging his presence: 'An old friend of mine is here for me tonight.' The interactions come just months after the tragic death of their former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne in November 2024. Zayn and Louis along with the other 1D members reunited at Liam's funeral, a deeply emotional moment that brought them all together.

The 32-year-old singer was performing in Mexico on his 'Stairway to the Sky' tour and opened the show on Tuesday night (25.03.25) with a rendition of One Direction's hit 'Night Changes'. After the performance - which has been shared on social media - Zayn said: "It's the first time I sang that song in 10 years. "Thank you, that was f****** amazing. I almost cried at one point. This is insane." The performance fell on the 10th anniversary of the day Zayn quit One Direction after five years in the group alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and the late Liam Payne. In a Facebook statement on March 25, 2015, the 'Pillow Talk' hitmaker wrote: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. 'I'd like to apologize to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. "I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.' He reuntied with bandmates Harry, Niall and Louis at Liam's funeral late last year. After his friend's death aged 31 in October, he paid tribute to Liam in an emotional statement He wrote on Instagram: "Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can't help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives. "I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life. "When I was missing home as a 17 year old kid you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and that I was loved. "Even though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated and gave no f*** about telling people when they were wrong. "Even though we butted heads because of this a few times, I always secretly respected you for it." Zayn described Liam as "the most qualified" musically in One Direction, and insisted he "knew nothing in comparison". He added: "I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional. "I was always happy to know, no matter what happened on stage we could always rely on you to know which way to steer the ship next."

US businessman ‘very happy' after being cleared of manslaughter over Liam Payne's death
Rogelio 'Roger' Nores' legal representative says the US businessman is 'very happy' after manslaughter charges against him were dropped in connection with the death of his friend Liam Payne. Former One Direction singer Payne died aged 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Argentina on October 16. Five people were initially charged over his death. Alongside 35-year-old Nores, two hotel workers have also been cleared by appeal judges. However, the two individuals accused of selling the Night Changes hitmaker cocaine before his fatal fall remain in prison and still face prosecution and a likely trial. Nores' lawyer Rafael Cuneo Libarona had centred his argument to get his client off his manslaughter rap on a rebuttal of prosecution claims he was Payne's representative and had failed in his duty of care towards him. Speaking after news of the appeal ruling emerged, he said: ''We are happy to have reversed the decision by 360 degrees. 'We have always maintained that Rogelio Nores was not responsible for Liam Payne's death. He was only his friend and had no duty or legal obligation to ensure his safety.' The three appeal court judges announced their ruling in a written document published eight days after a hearing at Argentina's National Criminal and Correctional Court in Buenos Aires. Cuneo Libarona, the brother of Argentina's Justice Minister Mariano Cuneo Libarona, had attempted to overturn lower court judge Laura Bruniard's December 27 decision to indict five men including Nores. 'My client is not a manager, he is not a nurse, he is not a psychologist, nor a psychiatrist, nor is he dedicated to the recovery of addicts. He is a simple friend in Argentina who helps him in his business affairs,' he told the court. The other two men now in the clear are Esteban Grassi, the chief receptionist at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires who made a 911 call moments before Payne died, and its head of security Gilda Martin. If convincted, they would have all faced between one and five years in prison, although they had been told they could be eligible for suspended jail sentences. Nores was held in Argentina while the decision was made. After the verdict, Nores told of his relief at having cleared his name in a statement via Daily Mail, saying: 'These last few months have been hard but now I am cleared of anything to do with Liam's death, I am delighted to be a free man and innocent of all charges. 'Liam was my friend and I am so sorry for what happened but as my legal team and I explained to the court very clearly, I had nothing to do with it and I am not in any way responsible.'
