Zayn Malik, one of the founding members of the boy group One Direction, has decided to leave the group. He allegedly left the group due to stress from the tour. The other four members of One Direction, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, who all shot to fame after being discovered by Simon Cowell on the UK TV series The X Factor, are sticking together, and will record a new album soon.

If you should know, my personal opinion of One Direction is this: I am not crazy about them like many elementary school, high school, and some college age girls are, but I think that their music is cool. They remind me of 90s boy groups such as the Backstreet Boys and N Sync.
