One Direction are going their separate ways in 2016 after release of fifth album, says reports. Apparently, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan wants to go solo, although there’s been no confirmation yet. The reports added that the break, which is the first since getting together on The X Factor in 2010, was planned “with or without Zayn”, who left the band in March.

 

The band’s PR team has no comment about the issue.

 

A source said: "The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boy band.

 

"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."

 

In June, Harry Styles was asked about the band’s future in a radio interview where he said: "We're all working hard and towards the same thing right now.

 

"I don't think we're thinking much past that,"
