Zayn Malik has left One Direction. In a statement released by the band, they’ve said they would continue as a four-piece for their world tour and record another album – their fifth – later this year. Malik had recently left the world tour due to stress and said: “After five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I’d like to apologise to the fans if I’ve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right.”
