Is the hiatus about to be officially over?
Right. Firstly, we need to calm down because this news got us pretty darn excited!
Got your composure?
Then let's break this down.
Simon Cowell Risked Upsetting 1D Fans By Telling The Band 'Sorry For Making You Famous'
The 1D lads have all got their own individual bits going on.
Liam is in the studio recording solo material, Harry has been embracing new acting roles etc - that's nothing new.

But when the band's Facebook page and official website get updated with brand new merch, it's certainly going to spark a lot of rumours.
These new t shirt designs were added to their web store for fans to purchase...
It sent fans into a total frenzy...
Haters: "1D is over."

But then it was alleged that a new 'Future Events' tab had also been added to their website, meaning the boys could be back some time in the near future.
They quickly removed it from the site, but that didn't stop the speculation...

So what's the deal guys?
Are we about to see the return of One Direction?
Or are these t shirts the closest we're gonna get to a reunion for the time being?
