The song, which featured his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, hit #1 at the Billboard Hot 100 chart, something which One Direction as a band could not achieve. We're gutted that Zayn chose to leave, but now after a few performances as a four-piece, we're feeling confident and are determined to carry on stronger than ever.ĪLSO READ: Harry Styles REVEALS Zayn Malik's confession of not enjoying his time during One Direction days was unexpectedĪfter his departure from One Direction, Zayn found solo success with his debut album, Mind of Mine, especially for his debut single, Pillowtalk. Now, however, the story is extremely heartbreaking!ĭuring One Direction's first interview post Zayn's departure from the band with The Sun, Liam had confessed, "It's been a tough few weeks, probably the toughest since the band was formed five years ago. Payne had expressed his want to stay in touch and that he finally understood why Malik made such a drastic decision. "I was with my little cousin at the time-we were sat in the hotel room-and I was just, 'Should I go home?' And he was like, 'If you want to go home, let’s go home.' So we left," the I Don't Want To Live Forever singer recalled.Ī few months later, Zayn would go on to quote that he isn't friendly with any of the members in One Direction but during his Fader interview, the singer did talk about the recent conversation he had had with Liam. He just didn't know when! Then, one morning, the singer woke up with the feeling of the want to go home as he needs to be himself and that he's had enough. However, Zayn had wanted to go home from the beginning and had always wanted to quit. While there wasn't one exact moment that drew Malik to the edge and finally take the monumental decision to quit the band. Giving an example of a date night, Zayn would want to play some "cool shit" and not 1D music to impress his date. I don’t think that’s an offensive statement to make," Zayn questioned.
As much as I was in that band, and I loved everything that we did, that’s not music that I would listen to. To me, that’s not an insult, that’s me as a 22-year-old man. "Would you listen to One Direction, sat at a party with your girl? I wouldn’t.
We were told to be happy about something that we weren’t happy about," Zayn explained.įurthermore, Zayn confessed that One Direction's music is not something that we would listen to. As much as we were the biggest, most famous boy band in the world, it felt weird. It was music that was already given to us, and we were told this is what is going to sell to these people. "There was just a general conception that the management already had of what they want for the band, and I just wasn’t convinced with what we were selling. His suggestions weren't intertwined with the One Direction musical tone. If his vocals would be slightly R&B or 'himself', he would have to record it 50 times untill a straight, generic pop note would come out. Zayn explained to Fader that there was never room for him to experiment creatively while in One Direction. However, the primary reason as to why the singer left One Direction was the alienating feelings he felt toward the band's pop music. Whether it be the cheating scandals and breaking his engagement with Perrie Edwards via a 'text' or the fact that he was a Muslim as well as the in-house dating within the band speculations, controversies surrounded Malik at every nook and corner! Out of all the members, Zayn had a weird reputation in the media. Then, Fader's December 2015 issue sealed the deal as to why Zayn kissed his boyband days goodbye, and it wasn't a pretty picture that the singer painted. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world," his statement continued but just a few months later, Malik was seen having an ugly Twitter spat with his 'best friend' Louis Tomlinson. "I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. 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." In a social media announcement, Zayn was quoted saying, "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. MaDirectioners woke up to the shocking news that Zayn Malik had made the heartbreaking decision to quit One Direction, after five years of making music together and being a part of the biggest boyband in the world.
