One Direction, confirmed to take a break in 2016

He took to Twitter and wrote, “Ok so Lots of rumours going round”. He followed that up with a second note that read, “Don’t worry though, we still have lots we want to achieve!”

But while it’s rumoured the boys will be focusing on solo material, they’ve put their loyal fans’ minds at rest and confirmed none of the singers are in any talks to branch off on their own yet.

“That doesn’t mean they’re splitting up at all”, the source insists. “They will remain together and plan to work together in the future”, a source dished to E!

A spokesman for the band had declined to comment on the report.

Battle-hardened fans offered advice to those going through their first boyband split.

Simon Cowell has revealed that he hasn’t spoken to Zayn Malik since he left One Direction. Hiatuses happen all the time, but killing the tour behind a new album before it’s even released makes this break sound less temporary and more… final.

What to expect from the new album: ‘There’s a song about losing someone that isn’t Zayn, ‘ says Bunetta.

The Guardian said the group’s last full concert will be at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena on October 31.

They are now touring North America and are due to perform in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday. Horan, Tomlinson, Payne, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik auditioned individually for British TV talent show “The X Factor“, where they started and been discovered.

The Bradford bad boy announced in March that he was leaving the band which had shot him to global fame and explained in a statement that he was desperate to enjoy a “normal” life and some peace away from the constant media glare.

The Sunday Times newspaper’s Rich List 2015 reckoned the band members were worth £25 million each.
