After five incredible years Zayn Malik has decided to leave One
Direction. Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis will continue as a four-
piece and look forward to the forthcoming concerts of their
world tour and recording their fifth album, due to be released
later this year. Zayn says: "My life with One Direction has
been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five
years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the
band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down,
but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving
because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to
relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I
have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know
they will continue to be the best band in the world." One
Direction say: "We're really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally
respect his decision and send him all our love for the future.
The past five years have been beyond amazing, we've gone
through so much together, so we will always be friends. The
four of us will now continue. We're looking forward to
recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next
stage of the world tour." Simon Cowell says: "I would like to
say thank you to Zayn for everything he has done for One
Direction. Since I first met Zayn in 2010, I have grown very,
very fond - and immensely proud - of him. I have seen him
grow in confidence and I am truly sorry to see him leave. As
for One Direction, fans can rest assured that Niall, Liam, Harry
and Louis are hugely excited about the future of the band."
