Companies House Update on Zayn Malik Is Administrative, Not a One Direction Reinstatement

Company records show the Nov. 3 change concerns Zayn Malik’s control listing, not a return to an officer role.

Overview

  • Companies House logged a Nov. 3 filing for PPM Music Limited updating Zayn Malik’s details as a person with significant control, which USA TODAY identified as an address change to a U.S. residence.
  • Official filings list the active directors as Lawrence Engel (Lee & Thompson) and Alan McEvoy (Live Wire Business Management), with no band member reinstated as an officer.
  • Zayn’s directorship ended in 2016, while Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan were recorded as resigned from director roles in 2022.
  • Liam Payne’s status as a person with significant control ceased on Oct. 16, 2024, following his death, while Malik, Styles, Horan, and Tomlinson remain listed as individuals with significant influence or control.
  • Reports of a director reinstatement originated with tabloids, but subsequent coverage from outlets including Complex, USA TODAY, News18, and Geo News clarifies there is no evidence of a company role return or a confirmed musical reunion; separate reports cite a Louis–Zayn Netflix-linked project and Malik’s January 2026 Las Vegas residency.
