It has been 14 years since Simon Cowell launched a little band called One Direction. And now he is ready to do it again.
He told Hello, “Nothing beats the fun of being in a group, touring the world and performing for thousands – and it’s also a brilliant launchpad for a solo career. When you have a great group, it’s like lightning in a bottle but there’s no magic formula and a fair bit of luck involved!”
He continued: “There’s always a high degree of risk and I genuinely have no idea what’s going to happen! We might uncover an incredible group; we might not get there. What if no one shows up to auditions? That could be awkward. There is no guaranteed path to success – anything can happen, but that’s what’s exciting for me and that’s why I’m doing this.”
Auditions will start next month in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Will he strike gold again? We will find out in the coming years.
