The worst has happened. For Directioners anyway.
One Direction are set to disband in March, according to a report in The Sun.
Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson have reportedly decided to go their separate ways for at least a year to focus on solo projects.
The band are also reportedly not going to tour for their fifth album, a decision that apparently came after a meeting in London last weekend.
A 1D source told The Sun: “The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boyband.
“They fully deserve to have at least a year to work on their own projects. There is absolutely no bad blood between them and they are all 100% behind the decision.

“It is definitely not a split and they fully intend to get back together at some time in the future.”
The newspaper’s source said that Zayn Malik’s departure was not behind the decision.
