Zayn Malik Quits One Direction; Decision Leaves Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and 1D Fans Broken

Zayn Malik left One Direction members and fans heartbroken when his decision to quit was announced last week. According to a report from Celebrity Dirty Laundry, his departure is expected to create a void in the band, which will now only consist of foursome Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan.

"The remaining members of One Direction have only performed a few concerts without Malik, so it's hard to determine if his subtraction from the group creates an imbalance in the harmonic attack," said The Guardian's Brad Nelson.

"But he leaves a void of personality, a void of vocal agility."

"Without him the group loses some of its distinctiveness and slowly morphs into four goofy white guys shouting," Brad Nelson added.

However, an insider revealed that the working relationship of Zayn Malik and One Direction members was pretty much broken already due to their constant disagreements.

"Zayn hated being in the group. People had screaming matches. Zayn threw a couple of tantrums," the insider claimed.

"He couldn't handle the in-fighting anymore. (Then) the guys held an emergency meeting and decided to let Zayn go."

"It was a difficult decision, but they didn't have a choice," the insider said.

Amid news about the departure of Zayn Malik, the remaining One Direction members broke their silence through their social media posts.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, the other 1D boys seem to still be adjusting , but all appear to remain optimistic.

"So glad to be in bed after a long and strange 24 hours," posted Liam Payne, referring to the day when Zayn Malik announced he had quit One Direction, leaving broken the hearts of many Directioners worldwide.

Niall Horan also weighed in on their group's next move.

"This in turn spurs us on to make the best music we possibly can (and) put on great shows/tour for you guys. You are the best fans in the world and you deserve nothing less from us!" he said.

As for Harry Styles, the ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift kept his official statement short.

"All the love as always," Harry Styles said.
