Harry Styles<\/a> has left his reclusive bubble of the past few months to meet good friend James Corden<\/a> for a coffee<\/a> in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair were locked in conversation as they sat outside a cafe, with Harry, 31, less incognito than he has been of late.<\/p>\n

He was in black jeans, a dark jumper and coordinating sunglasses, while James, 46, was in a burgundy jumper and black cap.<\/p>\n

Harry was still sporting the bushy moustache, which he debuted earlier this month as he ran a speedy marathon in Tokyo.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the death of his former One Direction<\/a> bandmate Liam Payne in October of last year,<\/a> the What Makes You Beautiful singer has been fairly reclusive.<\/p>\n

In the low-key outing, Harry was seen laughing with the Gavin and Stacey <\/a>star and appeared to be in good spirits.<\/p>\n

The pair then reportedly headed off to the pub together, enjoying the sunshine in central London.<\/p>\n

Harry and James have frequently been seen together over the years, having formed a friendship years ago.<\/p>\n

James told Howard Stern previously: ‘I just think Styles is so special as a human.’<\/p>\n

When appearing on the final episode of James’ US talk show, Harry said: ‘Can I just say, as a friend, I’m so incredibly proud of you for everything you’ve done.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘On a personal note, you’ve been a safe space for me always as a friend and I’m selfishly very excited that you’re coming home.’<\/p>\n

Fans have been unsure as to when the As It Was hitmaker would be returning to the public eye, having completed his mammoth Love On Tour almost two years ago.<\/p>\n

The absence was notable as Harry is usually snapped around London frequently, from fast food restaurants to cycling around the city.<\/p>\n

His last on-stage performance was in July last year, taking to the stage to duet with headliner Stevie Nicks at BST Hyde Park.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tokyo marathon appearance was a surprise, although he was still keeping up a slight disguise as he wore a hat, sunglasses, and an all-black outfit.<\/p>\n

Eagle-eyed fans still managed to spot him in the videos of the race, running with the bib number 39162 and placing 6010 out of approximately 38,000.<\/p>\n

The Watermelon Sugar singer came in at 3:24:07, averaging a bit faster than an 8-minute mile or 4:51 per km.<\/p>\n

This is one of very few public outings Harry has had in recent months, despite ongoing speculation surrounding his return.<\/p>\n

It was heavily rumoured that he and bandmates Niall Horan<\/a>, Louis Tomlinson<\/a>, and Zayn Malik<\/a> would reunite at the Brit Awards for a tribute to Liam.<\/p>\n

However, none of the former X Factor stars made an appearance at the event although a video montage was shown of the Strip That Down singer.<\/p>\n

Each of the singers had paid tribute to Liam in their own ways as well as releasing a joint statement.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Zayn surprised fans in Mexico by opening his arena show with Night Changes <\/a>– the last single he released with One Direction.<\/p>\n

This was in honour of the 10th anniversary of him quitting the band <\/a>but was also taken as a tribute to Liam as the song re-entered the charts after his death.<\/p>\n

While Harry hasn’t been seen much, he did put his name to a letter calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to save university music departments.<\/a><\/p>\n

Penned by Ed Sheeran<\/a> and co-signed by stars like Sir Elton John, Adele<\/a>, and Stormzy, it pleas with the PM to commit \u00a3250m to music education.<\/p>\n

Last year marked the first time in 20 years that British acts have not made it into the worldwide annual charts of the year\u2019s top 10 bestselling singles or albums.<\/p>\n

Ed said that with the underfunding of UK music programmes, there is no next generation to ‘hand the reins’ of the industry.<\/p>\n

Fans are anticipating that Harry might announce new music in the next year or so, having last released an album – Harry’s House – in 2022.<\/p>\n
