Zayn, in his own words:
After
five incredible years Zayn Malik has decided to leave One Direction.
Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis will continue as a four-piece and look
forward to the forthcoming concerts of their world tour and recording
their fifth album, due to be released later this year.
Zayn
says: "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. 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."
One
Direction say: "We're really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally respect
his decision and send him all our love for the future. The past five
years have been beyond amazing, we've gone through so much together, so
we will always be friends. The four of us will now continue. We're
looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on
the next stage of the world tour."
Simon
Cowell says: "I would like to say thank you to Zayn for everything he
has done for One Direction. Since I first met Zayn in 2010, I have grown
very, very fond - and immensely proud - of him. I have seen him grow in
confidence and I am truly sorry to see him leave. As for One Direction,
fans can rest assured that Niall, Liam, Harry and Louis are hugely
excited about the future of the band."
