Since Zayn Malik left the band last month, we’ve heard a countless number of rumours that other members of the band might also be calling it quits.
Yesterday, we heard how Niall was in talks about possibly leaving the band last year, around the same time that Zayn started to doubt his life in 1D.
Now, Lance Bass has revealed that Harry Styles has been working on some solo material, and is considering departing from his bandmates, too.
Talking on the Meredith Vieira Show yesterday, Bass revealed: “Harry Styles been ready to go solo for many months. In fact, he’s been recording solo and was about to leave.”
Lance Bass feels that Zayn made the best decision to leave the band, over Harry – as he believes that Harry is a lot more popular.
He said: “The Zayn thing was just spur of the moment but I think the best move he could have ever done because everyone knows Harry. Harry Styles was a household name, my grandmother knows Harry Styles.
“Zayn Malik, didn’t really know the name until he was the first to leave the group. Kudos to him to being smart to leave.”
The former NSYNC star added that the boys will always be the best of friends, though they might not all be together as they once were.
“I think the guys are always going to be friends. They’re brothers,” Bass added, “They were put in a situation that they didn’t know they were going to be in. They were put together on a television show. That they lasted this long as a group is a surprise to me.”
What about the future of One Direction, though? Lance Bass explained: “Hopefully, the other four can go on and do some more music. I just see Harry leaving soon and I don’t see another One Direction album happening after he does.”
Do you think Harry will leave the band?
