Liam Payne Reached Out To Zayn Malik

(Radio.com) Liam Payne took to social media to wish his former One Direction bandmate Zayn Malik a happy birthday. 'Happy birthday bro!" he wrote. "Hope all is well and you have a good day celebrating it."

After Malik quit One Direction there was definitely tension, and Malik subsequently claimed that the boys had stopped returning his calls. Perhaps the ice has begun to thaw.

Liam Payne has been the only member of the paused top selling UK boy band to wish former bandmate Malik well, publicity at least. See Payne's tweet here.
