Companies House Update Triggers One Direction Chatter, But Records Show No Director Return for Zayn Malik

Official filings reflect a routine update to Malik’s control details rather than a reinstatement to the company’s leadership.

One Direction members Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles attend the Royal Variety Performance at the Palladium Theatre in London on Nov. 13, 2014.

Overview

  • UK Companies House lists a Nov. 3 filing noting a change of details for Mr Zain Malik as a person with significant control, updating his residence to the United States.
  • Active director roles at PPM Music Limited are held by industry executives Lawrence Engel and Alan McEvoy, with Malik’s directorship ending in 2016 and the other members recorded as resigned on Dec. 31, 2022.
  • Tabloid reports claimed Malik was reinstated as an active director, but outlets that reviewed the documents found no filing that appoints any band member back to the board.
  • Fan speculation intensified after the filing surfaced, with renewed contact among the surviving members frequently cited in coverage following Liam Payne’s death in October 2024.
  • Separate from company records, reports say Malik and Louis Tomlinson have been filming a U.S. travel/docu-series, and Malik is scheduled for a seven-show Las Vegas residency in January 2026.
