Louis Tomlinson is getting candid about One Direction's split.
In a new interview with The Times on Thursday, the singer, 31, confessed that the band's breakup in 2015 left him "mortified."
"When One Direction split up, I was mortified, I was absolutely gutted," he said. "I was a bit bitter, I suppose because it just felt like another loss to me. But I've a better understanding of things now, and there's not as much anger. It is what it is."
The band — made up of Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, — announced they were going on hiatus in August 2015. The following year, Tomlinson's mother Johannah Deakin died from leukemia at the age of 42. His 18-year-old sister Félicité then died two years later, after accidentally overdosing on cocaine, painkillers and an anxiety drug.
Despite his feelings over the band's split, the British star says he'd still "be up" for a reunion with the boys, who were formed into a group during the 2010 series of The X Factor U.K.
