Liam Payne’s TV show Building the Band has been given the go-ahead to air on Netflix later this year.
The tragic One Direction star – who died in October after plunging from a balcony at a hotel in Argentina – filmed a spot as a guest judge on the talent show hosted by Backstreet Boys singer AJ Maclean and it was believed to have been put on hold while officials at the streaming giant consulted with Liam’s grieving relatives.
But now it’s been slated to air this year and a report suggests the family was “surprised” by the announcement.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “They spoke with Liam’s family as they didn’t want to progress the project without taking their feelings into consideration.
“The family got the sense that this was a celebration of Liam, an image of positivity. He was doing what he did best as a true boyband star.
