With Zayn Malik gone and Harry Styles rumored to leave One Direction, too, will the band split for good?There will be more broken hearts if news -- that another member of the famous chart-topping boyband will depart from the group -- proves to be true.
It will be recalled that Harry Styles had been quite saddened and upset at Zayn's departure from the boyband after several years of togetherness. It was evident in one of the shows of OneDirection, when Harry became emotional after hearing official news that Zayn had indeed quit.
Boyband members splitting up and forming solo careers has become commonplace. Unfortunately, in the case of One Direction, Zayne had to leave the group just when fans were expecting that the band would perform -- with complete members - as part of the One Direction "On the Road Again" world tour. Are One Direction members hitting the road one at a time, and not coming back to perform with their bandmates? Avid fans certainly hope not.
Entertainment industry sources, including filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who was the director of "One Direction: This Is Us" documentary film, did not discount the possibility that the boyband will stay intact. The split has been building up for quite sometime now. One piece has broken off and there's another that may follow. Among the members of the globally popular boyband, Harry Styles has been expected to embark on a solo career earlier than the rest.
In case Harry does decide to leave, who will replace Zayn & Harry? Word has it that it'll be a friend of Louis Tomlinson but there has yet to be any official announcement. If it's not Harry who will depart, could it be Louis Tomlinson?
Louis Tomlinson is reportedly keen on learning the ropes of managing artists and may onboard Jack Walton. One thing's certain: stress and personal relationships have been the factors that have prompted 1D members to leave the boyband.
From the looks of things, new priorities or a new career focus may also be very compelling reasons to say goodbye to bandmates.
