Due to stress apparently. I certainly think this is a crack in the Mirror for 1D as a band. In other boy bands such as Take That, Westlife and Five their decline has started with a member not performing in a tour

Thoughts people ...

In before Billy Value...

Wrong forum.

Is he still on drugs?

Sky News were reporting it, I could not give a flying f**k.

He's been a bit of a mess for a while, hasn't he? Needs to go home to mum for a bit of R & R. Too much pressure on too young shoulders came too soon.

Can somebody translate the thread title pls.

Earth shattering news. I need to go for a lie down.

Oh dear. Devastating news.

I admit I know very very little about 1D but this bloke always looked the most down to earth and normal out of the group (drugs or not). His facial expression was always like "what am I doing hanging out with these 4 manufactured losers?" I think he was just in it for the money.

Perfectly clear. But if you don't like the boyband 1 Direction then you really don't need a translation.

I couldn't give a flying ****

Its on Sky News now, the man has no idea of stress.

Oh dear, such a shame.

1 down 4 to go

are you trying to put me out of a job

More like the bin.

How about if you haven't got a friggin clue who or what the title is on about.

Cool story bro.

I suspect they will all crash and burn, once they are no longer young it won't be easy adapting to a different life.

Pretty young boys exploited and ran into the ground by perverted money hungry record executive shocker

They'll all be in rehab and on celebrity big brother by 35

"Stress" or "exhaustion" are usually code words for rehab....

I can't stand One Direction but I do hope that it isn't serious.

I don't think that they really want to do this anymore. They're all a little older than they were when they were on the X Factor and they're probably sick of the crap music that Cowell is making them record. I don't think that they have many albums left in them.

Hopefully hes away for a wash, he always looks manky

Well, if you didn't go on the 1A, 1B and 1C tours, the 1D tour won't mean anything to you. At least that's what I think it's about.

...looking at his bank statement must be a comfort to the poor mite,though....

They've each done alright out of it though. I'd take their washed up careers and their current bank balances.

Liam is the only one who still looks half decent.

The rest of them are barely alive.
