‘It would be an entirely fitting way to honour Liam and talks are already under way about how to make this segment of the Brits unforgettable.’

The music insider added that the Strip That Down hitmaker ‘loved’ the annual music event having both attended and performed in the past and will ‘forever be part of the show’s history’.

They went on: ‘It’s still in the very early stages of preparation and the finer details are still being worked out, with official approaches to be made in coming weeks, but there are set to be a mixture of performances, tasteful pH๏τo and video montages and a live orchestra.’

They remarked that in addition to One Direction, other artists may also contribute to remembering Liam on the night.

MailOnline have contacted representatives of the Brit Awards for comment. 

It comes as Liam was honoured with a plaque on Celvedon Pier in Somerset, following his death in October 2024.
