T he four members of the formerly five-member One Direction are set to appear on James Corden’s The Late Late Show , CBS announced. Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan—but, alas, no Zayn Malik—will guest on the talk show May 14.
Malik announced he was leaving the band in March , and more recently removed the “1D” from his Twitter handle , inspiring more mourning from fans. While the band has performed since Malik’s departure , this marks the band’s first U.S. appearance without Malik, a rep confirms.
In a statement, Payne said that they “are currently working on a few surprises with James and his team that we hope our fans will enjoy.” The One Direction members and Corden have had a history of antics: on Corden’s British show, A League of Their Own, the host tattooed his face on Horan’s butt and kissed Styles .
