The day the world had been dreading has finally come: Zayn Malik has left One Direction, after a few years of not-so-private ennui with life as a pop phenom.
#shadesofkevinrichardson and #shadesofgerihalliwell much?
The 22-year-old Brit already had put his participation on the band’s ongoing world tour on pause due to stress, but, in a statement released today, Malik said he feels now – after five years rocking the charts and helping to usher the new wave of the British musical invasion – is the time leave the quintet to focus on being a normal lad his age that can like, relax without a spotlight on him at all times.
FYI: The rest of One Direction – Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson – has expressed support for their mate, and will continue to tour without him well into this fall before dropping another album.
