It was a hard day for fans around the world when Zayn Malik separated from One Direction in 2015. Speaking candidly about his former bandmate and friend, Louis Tomlinson opened up in an interview with The Sun.
He revealed that it was Louis’ late mother, Joannah Derkin’s last wish for him to see Malik again. “My mum said, ‘You’ve got to get back in contact with Zayn. Life’s too f**king short’,” informed Louis.
Deakin passed away in 2016 at the age of 42 after a long battle with leukemia. “My mum always knew what I was feeling and what I wanted,” he added.
Malik and Tomlinson were clearly the closest among the band members. About this, he said, “Zayn was always good for me in the band because he was my go-to if I wanted to p**s around, lark around. I could always break the rules a little bit with Zayn.”
At the end, he said that they “will always have that love for each other. I can’t speak on behalf of him, but we really care about each other.”
