Anyone seen this?

Reports are they are splitting for good. I thought this maybe the case.

I've only seen this article: http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news...ust-temporary/, also quoting a "source close to the band" saying the opposite we'll see in due time...

Already denied by their rep.

According to reports, they have left Syco, which I expected. They said goodbye to Simon after their last performance on the X Factor and in the message to the fans on the official website, they confirmed there will be another chapter.

I guess we will find out more in March.

I love that picture. Quite excited about their solo projects.

Seeing as Niall has some free time now, can one of you directioners or whatever your called arrange for him to be sent to me. I mean I'm in sunny Tenerife and I'm sure he needs a holiday.

I'd be happy to help him ..err...relax.

I'm sure he can find better things to do with his time.

On a different note, the boys have been nominated for 2 Brits.
Best British group and video of the year (they have that in the bag).

which video?
its fanbase voted. The mixers could be a threat.

Drag me down.
LM fan base is not even a quarter of 1Ds. The boys are topping the leaderboard at the moment.
International fans are allowed to vote.

#57 DMD (10.5k; total now 483k)

One Directions' VEVO channel is the most subscribed VEVO channel on youtube (ahead of Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Eminem). It's the 4th most subscribed channel overall (if you don't count "channels" like youtubes own news and sports channel). And they haven't posted any new videos in a while, but people still keep "discovering" them

Incredible.

So good to see History doing so well. Number 5 in yesterday's chart update.

... and #4 in today's update! Around 50 copies (!!!) ahead of Adele's "Hello". So guys from the UK, keep streaming History all day long tomorrow

1D baby all over the Internet lol.

Can't get enough of this.

I really like the new video and single, and it's sooooo on topic.
Great job 1D and its team!

Agree, what a nice video
Fans were trying to break their own record for "fastest to get to 1 million likes". Old record apparently was 21 hours. This morning, it had over 900k likes, tonight almost 1.1 million. So I don't know whether the record was broken, as I wasn't online during the 21 hour mark Probably not, but it must have been close. And already close to 10 million views

first video interview with Zayn (with Zane Lowe): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxe3uANCGko (audio of the full video) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y18teX-Gxp0 (video a short extract).
He seems a lot less bitter about his time in One Direction as has previously been reported. Glad to hear

Zane and Zayn Lol.

Love the picture of Louis and his son.

Nice.

Happy birthday to Harry. Can't wait for the solo music.

I can't believe he's only 22. He seems more grown up then the other guys.

1D nominated for a KCA.
