Just a week after exiting the One Direction tour due to “stress,” Zayn Malikhas officially left the band. “After five incredible years Zayn Malik has decided to leave One Direction,” the band said in a statement on their Facebook.
Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson will continue 1D as a four-piece and they “look forward to the forthcoming concerts of their world tour and recording their fifth album, due to be released later this year,” the statement said.
"We're really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally respect his decision and send him all our love for the future,” Zayn’s bandmates say. “The past five years have been beyond amazing, we've gone through so much together, so we will always be friends.”
As for Zayn, he explains, "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.”
He continued, “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."
