Zayn Malik Leaving One Direction For Good, Consulting Lawyers

Hey everybody,  just want you to know that Zayn Malik is leaving One Direction for good after the tour, consulting lawyers according to this report. So why is that? Let's find out.

It appears that 5 days ago, One Direction's Zayn Malik is leaving tour, citing stress.

One-fifth of One Direction is stepping away from the band's world tour.

The boy band's publicist says a stressed Zayn Malik is flying home to Britain.

Publicist Simon Jones said Thursday that "Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the U.K. to recuperate.

As Simon Jones added that the band will continue with upcoming performances in Manila, Philippines and Jakarta, Indonesia as part of the "On the Road Again" tour.

"1D statement: Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate. The band wish (cont)", Sion Jones tweeted from his Twitter account.

Zayn Malik's departure comes a day after he hit back on Twitter at rumors of trouble in his relationship with fiancee Perrie Edwards of the band Little Mix.

"I'm 22 years old...I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f(bleep)s in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like x," he tweeted Wednesday.

By the way, Perrie Edwards is pretty hot. Let's continue.

This week, authorities in the Philippines said they were imposing a $5,000 "weed bond" on Malik and fellow band member Louis Tomlinson, with the money to be forfeited if they used illegal drugs. That move followed a request by the local Anti-Drugs Advocate group asking the country's Bureau of Immigration to strictly scrutinize the band's concert permit following a video that circulated online last year of Malik and Tomlinson purportedly smoking marijuana.

So because of Zayn Malik leaves One Direction tour due to stress, Zayn Malik is taking time off from the One Direction tour. "Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate," the band's publicist, Simon Jones, said in a statement. "The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta."

Sure, maybe. But critics are quick to point out that Zayn Malik's stress may have come from a photograph that surfaced on Wednesday showing the 22-year-old holding hands with a woman other than his fiancée, Little Mix's Perrie Edwards.

Then 5 days after Zayn Malik left the Asian leg of One Direction's tour due to stress, a tabloid reports that he is meeting with lawyers stging that Zayn Malik in talks to quit One Direction. Well, just for a while.

So why it's far from shocking about Zayn Malik's absence from One Direction? Because a new report claims that Zayn Malik is DONE with One Direction and now he’s exploring his legal options to get out of the group.

Zayn Malik, 22, might be headed in a new direction without his mates, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne. If this new report about the “stressed” One Direction singer, he’s exploring his options to get out of the group permanently. Ugh!

That's right, Directioners. Zayn Malik is leaving One Direction for good, until if he decides if he wants to go back to One Direction is the next decade when he's feeling that he can.

This is heartbreaking to hear, especially for those of you diehard Directioners who are rooting for Zayn Malik to return to the group on March 28. Now, he might never return! Well, sort of.

“At the moment he’s convinced he wants out. He is finding it all too much and wants to quit the group,” a source close to Zayn Malik told the Daily Star in a shocking interview.

Apparently, Zayn Malik has already started talking to lawyers to find out whether or not he can pull out of his commitments with the band. Fortunately for the fans, it’s not looking too good for him right now.

“His legal team is seeing what the situation is. There is a strong chance he will have to fulfil his commitments and he might change his mind once he’s had time away from the spotlight,” the source continued. “But as it stands he’s not keen to continue.”

Did Zayn Malik leaving 1D’s Tour slamming Simon Cowell? Yeah, I bet alot of people who go on the internet hates One Direction left and right non-stop. But hey, at least anti-One DIrection people are happy that Zayn Malik is leaving One Direction. This will make the haters very happy. Oh boy. It's like people saying "I hate One Direction" left and right non-stop on the internet. I guess America people only wants old America like 90s. Well then, let's move on.

It feels safe to assume that Zayn’s recent troubles causing him to abandon the band during the world tour would really upset their mentor, Simon Cowell, doesn’t it? Interestingly enough, that is simply not the case.

As Zayn Malik abandons One Direction Tour, is Simon Cowell furious?

“Simon has had his own run-ins with what Zayn is dealing with and has told Zayn to be the man he is and own it,” a source close to the situation tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “Simon is confident that Zayn is OK and will be OK after taking some time off. He knows that the band are all brothers and they will not break up and are there for him as well.”

Well, it’s definitely nice to hear that Zayn Malik still has his team standing behind him. Hopefully Simon isn’t too upset when he hears the reports that Zayn Malik wants out of the group for good. I hope you will have the best of luck, Zayn Malik. Good luck taking new directions. This is why I love Backstreet Boys. Why? Because Backstreet Boys is the biggest selling boy band of all time with more than 130 million records sold worldwide.

So what do you think? Do you think Zayn Malik is definitely leaving the group? Would you still be a 1D fan without him? Sound off below!
